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

An update from CRH plc ( (CRH) ) is now available.

CRH has repurchased 100 of its own ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 16 April 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of $114.6485 per share, with all acquired shares to be cancelled. The buyback forms part of CRH’s previously announced plan to repurchase up to $300 million of stock by 28 April 2026, leaving 668,200,414 shares in issue and 35,634,977 shares held in treasury, a move that modestly tightens its free float and underlines ongoing capital return to shareholders.

The latest tranche of buybacks, executed across multiple trading venues including BATS, INCR, KNLI, LEVL and MEMX, reflects CRH’s continued use of balance sheet capacity to support its share price and optimise capital structure. By maintaining treasury shares at just over 5% of issued capital and cancelling repurchased stock, the company signals confidence in its long-term prospects while providing incremental earnings-per-share support for investors.
