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

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

CRH plc has repurchased 55,000 of its ordinary shares on 20 February 2026 in the U.S. market via Wells Fargo Securities as part of its previously announced share buyback initiative. The redeemed shares, acquired at a volume-weighted average price of about $124.69 and across multiple trading venues, will be cancelled, reducing the company’s free float.

The transactions contribute to CRH’s plan to buy back up to $300 million of stock by 28 April 2026, signaling continued capital returns to shareholders and management’s confidence in the company’s valuation. Following settlement and cancellation, CRH will have 670,217,546 ordinary shares in issue, while 35,661,896 shares, or just over 5% of issued capital, will be held in treasury without voting rights, modestly increasing earnings and voting power per share for remaining investors.
