The latest update is out from CRH plc ( (CRH) ).
CRH plc has continued its ongoing share repurchase programme, buying back and cancelling 100 of its own ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 23 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $104.74. Following settlement and cancellation, the company will have 668,754,813 ordinary shares in issue, while 35,643,874 shares are held in treasury, representing about 5.06% of its issued share capital and carrying no voting rights.
The latest transactions form part of CRH’s previously announced plan to repurchase up to $300 million of ordinary shares by 28 April 2026, signalling continued capital returns to shareholders and active balance sheet management. The small incremental buybacks, executed across multiple U.S. trading venues, marginally reduce the free float and may enhance earnings per share over time, underlining management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and long-term prospects.
