CRH stock was trading at USD 83.75 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, down 1.74 percent from the previous close. The price was 0.32 percent above the 52-week low of USD 83.48, keeping valuation pressure at the center of the trading picture.
UBS lowers its target
According to Investing.com on September 22, 2026, UBS reduced its CRH price target from USD 147 to USD 135 while maintaining a Buy rating. The change puts the published target USD 51.25 above the September 24 market price.
The adjustment followed valuation concerns rather than a reported earnings miss. CRH stock had a 52-week high of USD 131.55, leaving the September 24 price USD 47.80 below that level.
Quarterly figures beat consensus
CRH reported second-quarter revenue of USD 10.78 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 5.6 percent year over year. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 2.21, compared with consensus of USD 2.02, a USD 0.19 beat, according to MarketBeat.
The contrast is important for investors: operating results improved in the June quarter even as the share price moved toward its yearly low. CRH's investor page identifies July 30, 2026, as the publication date for its second-quarter results, confirming the reporting timetable for the latest interim figures.
Stock remains below yearly high
CRH is a global construction materials company supplying aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and precast products. On September 24, 2026, the USD 83.75 NYSE price and the 1.74 percent daily decline showed that the market reaction remained weaker than the latest quarterly revenue and adjusted EPS comparisons.
