What does the target cut mean?

The reduction from USD 140 to USD 115 equals 17.86 percent and changes the reference point for investors before third-quarter results. JPMorgan cited fiscal 2026 guidance pressure, diesel costs, muted third-quarter volumes and weaker pricing realization, according to Markets Insider. The counterweight is CRH's second-quarter revenue growth and the planned Nordic expansion.

Next reporting date
