CRH Continues $300 Million Buyback With New U.S. Share Repurchases

CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has issued an announcement.

CRH plc has repurchased 83,519 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. on 5 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities as part of its ongoing share buyback programme of up to $300 million running to 28 April 2026. The redeemed shares will be cancelled, leaving 669,638,542 ordinary shares in issue and 35,643,874 shares held in treasury, a move that reduces free float and can enhance earnings per share while signalling continued capital returns to investors.

The transactions were executed across several U.S. trading venues at a volume-weighted average price of $111.3718 per share, reflecting CRH’s active use of its New York listing to manage its capital structure. By maintaining a sizeable but non-voting treasury position of just over 5% of issued share capital, CRH preserves flexibility for future corporate actions while adhering to U.K. market abuse and listing regulations governing disclosure of buyback activity.
