RBC Capital raised its price target from $108 to $112, maintaining an 'Outperform' rating. The company has returned $0.8 billion to shareholders YTD and raised its full-year guidance. CRH operates as a leader in building materials, supplying cement, concrete, aggregates, and related products.

CRH plc (CRH), a leading global supplier of building materials, reported its Q2 2025 results, showcasing robust performance across key metrics. The company's revenue grew by 6% to $10.2 billion, while adjusted EBITDA increased by 9% to $2.5 billion. CRH's earnings per share (EPS) improved to $1.94, and RBC Capital raised its price target from $108 to $112, maintaining an 'Outperform' rating [1].

The company's strong performance can be attributed to strategic acquisitions and pricing discipline. CRH finalized 13 acquisitions year-to-date, including a $2.1 billion acquisition of Eco Material Technologies, which strengthens its position in low-carbon cement [2]. Additionally, the company returned $0.8 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and a quarterly dividend of $0.37 [1].

CRH's International Solutions segment recorded a 13% revenue growth, contributing significantly to the overall performance. The company also raised its full-year guidance, expecting full-year adjusted EBITDA to be between $7.5 billion and $7.7 billion, representing 10% growth at the midpoint [2].

Despite the strong performance, CRH faces challenges such as adverse weather conditions impacting activity levels, particularly affecting the paving season. Additionally, the residential sector in the US is expected to remain subdued due to affordability issues, with significant recovery not anticipated until the back end of 2026 [2].

CRH's differentiated model and M&A-driven growth strategy continue to position the company as a strong player in the construction industry. The company's focus on innovation and sustainability, along with its efficient operations, makes it an attractive investment option for investors seeking exposure to the building materials sector.
