CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has shared an update.
CRH plc has repurchased 95,367 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 19 March 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities, at a volume-weighted average price of about $100.21 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. The buyback is part of a previously announced $300 million repurchase program running to 28 April 2026 and will reduce the number of shares in issue to 668,853,212, while CRH holds 35,643,874 shares in treasury with no voting rights, underscoring continued capital returns to shareholders and a tighter share base.
The transactions were executed across several U.S. trading venues, including the New York Stock Exchange, with prices ranging roughly between $99.22 and $100.96. By shrinking its free float and maintaining a sizable treasury position equivalent to just over 5% of issued capital, CRH is reinforcing earnings per share accretion and signalling confidence in its valuation, a move closely watched by investors amid ongoing consolidation and capital allocation moves in the global building materials sector.
