Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Quanex Building Products Corporation (“Quanex” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NX) in the United States United States District Court Southern District of Texas Houston Division on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Quanex securities between December 12, 2024 and September 5, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
