CRH's $5.76 Billion Trading Volume Surge Lands 216th in Market Rankings

On May 12, 2025, CRH's trading volume reached $5.76 billion, marking a 61.06% increase from the previous day. This surge placed CRH at the 216th position in the day's stock market rankings. CRH Cement (CRH) rose by 4.38%, marking its third consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 7.53% over the past three days.

CRH plc has been actively engaged in a share buyback program, aiming to repurchase up to $300 million worth of its ordinary shares. This initiative, announced on May 6, 2025, is part of the company's strategy to optimize its capital structure and enhance shareholder value. The buyback program includes the acquisition and subsequent cancellation of shares in the United States, reflecting CRH's commitment to maintaining a strong financial position.

Following the recent transactions, CRH's total issued ordinary shares stand at 675,238,466, with 5.371% held in treasury. These treasury shares do not carry voting rights, ensuring that the company's decision-making process remains unaffected by the buyback program. This move underscores CRH's focus on creating long-term value for its shareholders while maintaining operational efficiency.
