Analyst target falls to USD 105
The Truist decision adds to a series of target reductions around CRH. Markets Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that Citi lowered its target from USD 122.00 to USD 106.00 while keeping a Buy rating. Citi also described CRH as its top pick for the construction materials sector.
The analyst revisions contrast with CRH's second-quarter operating figures. MarketBeat reported revenue of USD 10.78 billion for the quarter, up 5.60 percent year over year, while earnings per share reached USD 2.21 against a USD 2.02 consensus estimate. The comparison represents a USD 0.19 earnings-per-share beat.
Second-quarter results support guidance
CRH published its second-quarter 2026 results on July 30, 2026, according to the company's investor relations page. In the earnings call, management reaffirmed adjusted EBITDA guidance of USD 8.10 billion to USD 8.50 billion for fiscal 2026 and diluted earnings per share guidance of USD 5.60 to USD 6.05, as reported by Yahoo Finance.
The same transcript shows a mixed operating picture. Americas Materials Solutions revenue was 10.00 percent higher than a year earlier, while Americas Building Solutions revenue was 2.00 percent lower. That split helps explain why the market can weigh resilient infrastructure demand against subdued new-build residential activity and higher haulage costs.
