Fletcher Building has requested a trading halt for its ordinary shares, as it works on finalising earnings guidance that is expected to significantly differ from current analyst forecasts.

The trading halt was implemented on Monday at 2:40pm and will remain in place until the company makes an announcement or until midday on Wednesday.

Fletcher Building made the request to allow for the completion of its half-year accounts, which is said to provide the necessary information for the updated earnings guidance.

No further details were provided in the announcement.
