Highlights

Shares of James Hardie Industries (ASX:JHX) plunged 10.3% on Monday to AU$42, marking their lowest level in more than four months. The sharp decline came in response to the company’s announcement of an $8.75 billion acquisition of AZEK Company, a move that has sparked concerns among investors over the financing of the deal.

The fiber cement manufacturer’s stock was among the top five losers on the benchmark ASX 200 index, reflecting cautious market sentiment. James Hardie intends to fund the cash portion of the acquisition through debt financing, with a fully committed bridge financing facility already secured.

Under the terms of the deal, AZEK shareholders will receive $26.45 in cash and 1.0340 James Hardie shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange for each AZEK share held. This represents a significant 37.4% premium to AZEK’s last closing price, highlighting the strategic importance of the acquisition for James Hardie’s expansion in the outdoor building products sector.
