The latest update is out from CRH plc ( (CRH) ).
CRH plc has repurchased 9,033 of its ordinary shares in the United States on 17 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of $104.3559 per share, with the shares to be cancelled following redemption. The transactions form part of CRH’s previously announced plan to buy back up to $300 million of shares by 28 April 2026, reducing the number of shares in issue to 669,063,805 and leaving 35,643,874 shares held in treasury without voting rights, thereby modestly enhancing earnings per share and consolidating existing shareholders’ stakes.
The buyback activity underscores CRH’s ongoing capital-return strategy and signals management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and cash generation capacity. By continuing to execute its program across multiple U.S. trading venues, CRH fine-tunes its capital structure while complying with U.K. and EU market abuse and listing regulations, which may support share-price performance and appeal to income- and value-focused investors.
