An announcement from CRH plc ( (CRH) ) is now available.
CRH plc has repurchased 98 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market via Wells Fargo Securities, LLC on April 15, 2026, at a volume-weighted average price of $116.36 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 April 28, 2026, and will reduce the number of shares in issue to 668.2 million, while treasury holdings will stand at 35.6 million shares, or about 5.1% of the company’s issued share capital.
The adjustment in CRH’s share capital structure through these redemptions underscores management’s continued use of buybacks as a capital return tool for shareholders. By shrinking the free float and maintaining a sizeable but non-voting treasury stake, the company may enhance earnings per share and signaling of balance sheet strength, a strategy that can support its valuation in the competitive global construction materials sector.
