CRH Continues $300m Share Buyback With U.S. Market Purchases

CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has shared an announcement.

CRH plc has repurchased 100 of its ordinary shares on 1 April 2026 in the U.S. market via Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of $106.93 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. Following this transaction, CRH will have 668,377,710 ordinary shares in issue, while holding 35,643,874 shares in treasury, equivalent to 5.062% of its issued share capital and carrying no voting rights.

The small buyback forms part of CRH’s previously announced programme to repurchase up to $300 million of ordinary shares by 28 April 2026, underscoring the group’s ongoing capital return strategy. The continued execution of this programme marginally reduces the free float, supports earnings per share accretion over time, and signals management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and cash generation to investors.
