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

CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has provided an update.

CRH plc has repurchased 30,734 of its ordinary shares on U.S. trading venues on 6 April 2026, at a volume-weighted average price of $104.8822 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. The transactions form part of CRH’s ongoing share buyback program of up to $300 million running to 28 April 2026, reducing the number of shares in issue to 668,266,879 and leaving 35,634,977 shares held in treasury without voting rights, thereby incrementally enhancing earnings per share and returning capital to investors.

The buyback activity underscores CRH’s continued use of balance-sheet capacity to support shareholder returns alongside its core building materials operations. By tightening its free float while maintaining a sizeable treasury stock position, the group signals confidence in its valuation and cash generation, a stance that may bolster investor sentiment as it pursues growth in key construction and infrastructure markets.
