Common questions

Is the James Hardie Industries plc CEO selling stock?

No. Aaron Erter reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are James Hardie Industries plc insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any James Hardie Industries plc insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology45 filings on record, 45 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 45 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for James Hardie Industries plc (SEC CIK 1159152), filed from Mar 17, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026; 45 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 16, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
