CRH plc (IE0001827041) traded at USD 87.14 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, while UBS cut its price target to USD 135 from USD 147. The stock is down 29.5 percent in 2026 and sits close to its 52-week low of USD 85.47.

UBS lowers its target

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, UBS reduced its CRH price target to USD 135. The same report said the shares traded at USD 87.14 and that volume reached 929,326 shares, compared with average volume of 4,846,745.

The target change gives the market a concrete valuation checkpoint. Even after the reduction from USD 147 to USD 135, the revised target remains USD 47.86 above the reported share price, while the stock remains 29.5 percent lower in 2026 according to Investing.com on September 22, 2026.

Quarterly figures beat estimates

CRH reported quarterly earnings per share of USD 2.21, above the consensus estimate of USD 2.02, for the quarter identified by MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. Revenue reached USD 10.78 billion against estimates of USD 10.68 billion, up 5.6 percent from the prior-year quarter.

The figures show a split picture: quarterly earnings exceeded expectations by USD 0.19 and revenue beat estimates by USD 0.10 billion, yet the share price remained close to its 52-week low. For investors, valuation is therefore the immediate issue behind the UBS target reduction, rather than a reported quarterly revenue decline.
