CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has issued an announcement.
CRH plc has repurchased 100 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 9 April 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities, at a volume-weighted average price of about $114.80 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. The buyback forms part of CRH’s previously announced $300 million share repurchase program running to 28 April 2026 and will reduce the number of shares in issue to 668.2 million, while treasury holdings will stand at 35.6 million shares, or just over 5% of its capital.
The latest tranche of repurchases underscores CRH’s ongoing capital return strategy and may support earnings per share by shrinking its free-float share base over time. The company’s disclosure of detailed trade data also reflects compliance with U.K. Market Abuse Regulation and listing requirements, providing transparency for investors tracking the pace and pricing of the buyback initiative.
