CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has issued an update.
CRH plc has continued its share buyback activity in the U.S., repurchasing 78,999 ordinary shares on 30 March 2026 through broker Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $101.72 per share. The redeemed shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 668,383,773, while the company will hold 35,643,874 shares in treasury, equivalent to about 5.06% of its issued share capital.
The transactions form part of CRH’s previously announced program to repurchase up to $300 million of stock by 28 April 2026, signaling an ongoing capital return strategy and confidence in its valuation. By shrinking its free-float and maintaining a sizable treasury position without voting rights, CRH is tightening its share base, a move that can enhance earnings per share and potentially support the stock’s performance for existing shareholders.
