Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openOhio's public employees pension fund disclosed a new position in CRH worth about $31.48 million, made up of roughly 294,000 shares bought during the second quarter. The article text is cut off and provides no further details about the purchase.
CRH's stock has returned about 99% over the past five years, but recent weakness and a cash-flow-based valuation estimate suggest the shares are now priced roughly fairly rather than cheap or expensive. The article also notes CRH recently bought Pisgah Stone Products in Utah to expand its aggregates business.
CRH plc received DOJ and Tennessee state approval to proceed with its $133.9 million acquisition of Standard Construction, conditional on divesting two asphalt plants.
CRH's $8.5 billion acquisition of Arcosa could expand its U.S. aggregates and energy infrastructure exposure, though financing and integration risks remain concerns.
CRH's latest earnings beat expectations, and the company's infrastructure exposure and discounted valuation are cited as supporting factors for the stock, though housing weakness, costs, and deal demands are reasons for investors to exercise patience.
