LSE Delisting Effective April 20 → $300M Buyback + Director Buys 3,800 Shares on NYSE Focus

CRH announced it will delist from the London Stock Exchange effective April 20, 2026, simplifying its listing to NYSE only, with preference share cancellations exchanged for cash at 40 times the annual dividend per preference share, pending shareholder approval. The company is executing a $300 million share buyback program and a director purchased 3,800 shares on March 11, signaling insider confidence in the NYSE-focused strategy. Management expects high single-digit growth in water quality and flow control in 2026, tied to essential replacement and regulatory upgrades, though housing market affordability challenges could pressure aggregate and cement demand in key markets.
