US Housing Warning Ignites James Hardie’s Worst Selloff Since 1973

Wall Street just delivered a brutal reality check to housing markets—and James Hardie investors are taking the full force.

The Trigger

Fresh housing data slammed construction stocks across the board. Hardie's plunge marks its steepest single-day drop in over five decades. Not a correction—a full-blown rout.

Sector-Wide Carnage

This isn’t isolated pain. When US housing shudders, building suppliers bleed. Analysts are slashing targets, funds are dumping positions, and the 'soft landing' narrative just evaporated.

Timing the Bottom? Good Luck.

Every dip-buying genius now thinks they’ve spotted the bargain of the century. Meanwhile, the charts scream 'structural breakdown.' Housing cycles don’t reverse on hope—or hedge fund memos.

Finance’s favorite game: overleveraging into obvious bubbles then acting shocked when they pop. Hardie’s nosedive is just the latest casualty in a sector addicted to cheap debt and cheaper optimism.
