CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has provided an update.
CRH plc has continued its ongoing share buyback programme in the United States, purchasing 30,600 of its own ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange on 2 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of $123.92 per share. The repurchased shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 668,277,053 (excluding treasury shares) and leaving 38,011,889 shares held in treasury, representing 5.382% of its issued share capital without voting rights. This transaction forms part of CRH’s previously announced plan to repurchase up to $300 million of shares by 17 February 2026, underscoring the group’s continued focus on capital returns and balance sheet efficiency, and providing incremental support to earnings per share and existing shareholders through a smaller free float.
