CRH plc ( (CRH) ) has provided an update.
CRH plc has repurchased 52,500 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market on 19 February 2026 through Wells Fargo Securities at a volume-weighted average price of about $125.22 per share, with the redeemed shares to be cancelled. The transaction is part of a previously announced share buyback program of up to $300 million running to 28 April 2026 and will reduce the number of shares in issue to 670.27 million, while treasury holdings will stand at about 5.05% of issued share capital, marginally enhancing remaining shareholders’ ownership stakes.
The buyback activity underscores CRH’s ongoing capital return strategy and signals management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and cash generation. By shrinking its free float and maintaining a sizable but non-voting treasury stock position, CRH continues to manage its balance sheet and capital structure actively, a move that may support earnings per share and bolster its standing with investors in the competitive global building materials sector.
