Analyst target remains higher

MarketBeat also reported that Citigroup lowered CRH from Buy to Cautious on September 9, 2026, while Morgan Stanley's new rating and the USD 139.00 target point to a divided but still largely constructive analyst backdrop.

Stock remains above yearly low

The primary US listing was last at USD 84.53 on September 29, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Its 52-week range was USD 82.17 to USD 131.55 on that date, placing the US quote USD 2.36 above the yearly low and USD 47.02 below the yearly high.

CRH's market capitalization was USD 56.5 billion as of September 29, 2026. The contrast between Q2 revenue growth of 5.6 percent and the stock's position near its yearly low makes execution on acquisitions and infrastructure demand the key valuation discussion.
