What this company does
CRH supplies the heavy materials that build roads, bridges, and buildings—aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, asphalt, and precast products—across North America and Europe. The company earns roughly 85% of revenue from selling these physical products, with the remainder from paving and construction services to government agencies and contractors. Q1 2026 revenue grew 9% to $7.4 billion, but the seasonally weak quarter swung to an operating loss as $1.8 billion of assets were classified as held-for-sale, signaling an active portfolio reshuffle alongside ongoing buybacks and a raised dividend.

Key risks
- Q1 2026 swung to operating loss of $38M from $18M income; net loss widened to $176M as SG&A jumped 12% outpacing 9% revenue growth.
- Leverage rising: total debt $18.5B vs $3.2B cash; current debt portion doubled to $2.5B and Q1 interest expense hit $203M (up 12%).
- $1.8B assets and $428M liabilities reclassified as held-for-sale alongside $48M impairment, signaling portfolio divestitures and potential further writedowns.
