CRH Continues $300m Buyback With U.S. Share Repurchase and Cancellation

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

CRH plc has repurchased 92,015 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 3 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities, at a volume-weighted average price of $113.2444 per share, with the acquired shares to be cancelled. Following this latest tranche of buybacks, the company will have 669,784,329 ordinary shares in issue, while holding 35,643,874 shares in treasury, underscoring CRH’s ongoing $300 million share repurchase programme and its continued emphasis on returning capital to shareholders and optimising its equity base.

The buyback activity spans multiple U.S. trading venues, indicating solid liquidity in CRH’s New York-listed stock and providing execution flexibility for the programme. By reducing the free float through cancellations while maintaining a sizeable treasury position with no voting rights, CRH is gradually tightening its share count, which may enhance earnings per share and signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and long-term prospects.
