CRH plc completed a share buyback of 30,800 ordinary shares at a volume‑weighted average price of $123.2162 per share, adding to its $300 million buyback program that is scheduled to conclude on February 17 2026.
The repurchase reduces the number of shares outstanding, supporting earnings per share and signaling confidence in the company’s cash‑flow generation. It is part of a broader capital‑allocation strategy that also includes a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share and strategic investments in high‑growth markets.
Since May 2018, CRH has returned $9.4 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, and the current program builds on that legacy. The company’s dividend policy remains unchanged, underscoring its commitment to regular shareholder returns.
The transaction comes as CRH pursues growth through acquisitions, such as the $2.1 billion purchase of Eco Material Technologies, and advances its sustainability agenda, targeting a 30 % emissions reduction by 2030. The program’s completion date of February 17 2026 provides investors with a clear timeline for capital return.
The buyback underscores CRH’s disciplined approach to capital management, balancing shareholder returns with investment in infrastructure projects and maintaining a strong cash position and robust balance sheet.
