CRH trades with roughly 17% headroom to the near-term price objective and a 2.6-to-1 reward-to-risk setup in your favor, but poor free cash flow conversion at 21% of net income, a recent earnings miss, and a death-cross technical configuration temper the case for adding exposure — the setup favors caution over conviction.

About CRH PLC
About CRH PLC
CRH generated $37.4 billion of total revenues and $7.7 billion of Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 across three segments: Americas Materials Solutions at 45% of revenues and 52% of Adjusted EBITDA, Americas Building Solutions at 19%, and International Solutions at 36%. The company operates across 48 U.S. states, seven Canadian provinces, and 27 countries with 83,032 employees at 3,961 locations, producing 380.7 million annualized tons of aggregates and 59.0 million tons of cementitious materials.
CRH earns revenue from selling aggregates, cementitious materials, readymixed concrete (39.5 million annualized cubic yards), and asphalt (62.8 million annualized tons) as well as downstream building and infrastructure products — including underground vaults, drainage systems, precast concrete, hardscapes, fencing, and packaged lawn products. Infrastructure projects accounted for 40% of total revenues, residential construction 32%, and non-residential construction 28%; 60% of revenues came from new-build and 40% from repair and remodel. Fuel and principal energy-related raw materials accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues in 2025. Supply chain relies on vertically integrated quarries supplemented by external sourcing; the company states it is not dependent on any one source for materials and resources, except in certain jurisdictions for gas and electricity. CRH completed 38 acquisitions for $4.1 billion in 2025, the largest being Eco Material Technologies, a supplier of supplementary cementitious materials.
Show full overview
Energy input exposure and commodity price sensitivity form a disclosed cost risk: fuel and principal energy-related raw materials accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues in 2025, with no guarantee the company can continue absorbing inflationary pressures. The cement business carries significant fixed and semi-fixed costs, making profits particularly sensitive to volume changes — a dynamic exposed by any construction demand downturn. CRH also acknowledges people, assets, and operations in Ukraine where ongoing armed conflict presents physical risk that the Board and management are actively monitoring.
