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

CRH plc ( (CRH) ) just unveiled an announcement.

CRH plc has repurchased 58,418 of its own ordinary shares in the U.S. on 27 February 2026 through broker Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $118.36 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. The transaction forms part of CRH’s previously announced share buyback programme of up to $300 million running to 28 April 2026, and will leave the group with 669,930,581 shares in issue and 35,661,896 shares held in treasury, modestly reducing its free float and supporting capital return to investors.

The latest tranche of repurchases, executed across multiple U.S. trading venues including the NYSE, Nasdaq and alternative platforms, underscores CRH’s ongoing commitment to active balance-sheet management following its U.S. primary listing. By shrinking its share count while maintaining a sizable treasury position that carries no voting rights, the company continues to enhance earnings per share and signal confidence in its valuation, moves that are closely watched by equity investors in the building materials sector.
