CRH Cancels 100,626 Shares in Ongoing $300 Million Buyback

An update from CRH plc ( (CRH) ) is now available.

CRH has repurchased 100,626 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. on 11 March 2026 through broker Wells Fargo Securities, at a volume-weighted average price of about $104.18 per share, and will cancel the redeemed stock. The buyback forms part of CRH’s previously announced $300 million share repurchase program running to 28 April 2026, reducing the number of shares in issue to 669.3 million and leaving 35.6 million shares held in treasury without voting rights, thereby modestly enhancing earnings per share and capital return to investors.

The transactions, executed across multiple U.S. trading venues including NYSE and Nasdaq-affiliated platforms, underline CRH’s continued use of share repurchases as a tool for capital allocation alongside its growth strategy. By shrinking its free-float and maintaining a sizable but non-voting treasury position, the group signals confidence in its valuation while complying with U.K. market abuse and listing rules that require detailed disclosure of individual trades carried out under the program.
