CRH Continues U.S. Share Buyback Under $300 Million Programme

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

CRH plc has continued its share buyback activity in the U.S. market, repurchasing and redeeming 100 ordinary shares on 14 April 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $118 per share. The redeemed shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 668,200,612 while the company also retains 35,634,977 shares in treasury, which carry no voting rights.

The transactions are part of CRH’s previously announced program to repurchase up to $300 million of its ordinary shares by 28 April 2026, underscoring an ongoing capital return strategy to shareholders. By shrinking its free-float and increasing the proportion of treasury and cancelled shares, CRH is tightening its share base, a move that can support earnings per share metrics and signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation.
