CRH reported strong 18.4% year-on-year revenue growth in Q1 2026, driven mainly by its Americas Materials Solutions segment. The company’s management provided a conservative EBITDA forecast for FY26, but analysts see potential upside due to untapped government funding and active portfolio reshaping. The positive quarterly results and outlook support maintaining a Buy rating on CRH shares, indicating confidence in the company’s growth prospects.
