CRH's strong performance was driven by favorable underlying demand, disciplined commercial management, and contributions from acquisitions.

The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share, representing a 6% increase from the prior year, and completed a share buyback program worth $0.3 billion in Q2 2025. An additional $0.3 billion tranche of the share buyback program is scheduled to be completed by November 5, 2025 [1].
CRH maintains a market capitalization of $65.85 billion with a float of 671.16 million shares and strong institutional ownership. The company's outlook for 2025 remains positive, with expectations of favorable underlying demand across key end-use markets, supported by significant public investment in critical infrastructure and continued re-industrialization activity in key non-residential segments [1].
