CRH Advances $300m Buyback With New U.S. Share Repurchases

The latest update is out from CRH plc ( (CRH) ).

CRH has repurchased 98,299 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. on 20 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities, at a volume-weighted average price of $100.2857 per share, with the acquired shares to be cancelled. The transactions form part of a previously announced share buyback programme of up to $300 million running to 28 April 2026, after which CRH will have 668,754,913 shares in issue and 35,643,874 shares held in treasury, tightening its free float and signalling ongoing capital returns to shareholders.

By reducing the number of shares in circulation and increasing treasury holdings to just over 5% of issued capital, CRH is enhancing earnings per share and potentially supporting its valuation. The continued execution of the buyback underlines management’s confidence in the company’s financial position and may improve liquidity dynamics for investors, while fulfilling regulatory disclosure requirements in the U.K. and aligning with market abuse regulations.
