Description: CRH CRH January 28, 2026
CRH plc (NYSE:CRH) is a Dublin-based, globally diversified building-materials group operating through three segments-Americas Materials Solutions, Americas Building Solutions, and International Solutions. It supplies aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, asphalt, precast concrete, polymer-based products, and a broad suite of engineered construction and infrastructure solutions across North America, Europe and other markets, serving public infrastructure, residential/commercial construction, and utility-critical projects.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023/24): revenue €30.5 bn, adjusted EBITDA €4.8 bn (EBITDA margin ≈ 15.7%), free cash flow €1.2 bn, net-debt/EBITDA ≈ 1.2×, and a dividend yield around 3.5%. The business is benefitting from a 4 % YoY rise in U.S. construction spending, the EU’s €1.5 tn post-pandemic infrastructure plan, and sustained demand for resilient utility-grade concrete amid higher energy-transition spending; however, higher interest rates and raw-material price volatility remain downside risks.
