CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has shared an update.
CRH plc has continued its latest share buyback initiative, repurchasing 140,606 ordinary shares on 26 March 2026 in the U.S. market through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $104.36 per share. The shares, acquired across multiple trading venues, will be redeemed and cancelled as part of the company’s previously announced plan to buy back up to $300 million of stock by 28 April 2026.
Following settlement and cancellation of these shares, CRH will have 668,591,860 ordinary shares in issue, while holding a further 35,643,874 ordinary shares in treasury, representing just over 5% of its issued share capital without voting rights. The transaction underscores CRH’s ongoing capital return strategy, which can enhance earnings per share and signals confidence in the company’s valuation to investors amid its continuing focus on shareholder returns.
