CRH Extends Capital Returns With New $0.3 Billion Share Buyback

The latest announcement is out from CRH plc ( (CRH) ).

CRH has completed the latest phase of its share buyback program, repurchasing 2.2 million ordinary shares on the NYSE between November 6, 2025 and February 17, 2026, and returning an additional $0.3 billion to shareholders. This brings the total capital returned via buybacks since May 2018 to $9.7 billion, underlining the company’s continued use of repurchases as a core capital allocation tool.

The group has also mandated Wells Fargo Securities to conduct a further buyback of up to $0.3 billion in NYSE-listed ordinary shares between February 19 and April 28, 2026, with a maximum of 55 million shares to be acquired. All repurchased shares will be cancelled to reduce CRH’s share capital, a move that may enhance earnings per share and signals management’s confidence in the business and its balance sheet, while adhering to U.S. and UK market regulations on buybacks.
