CRH plc (IE0001827041) closed at USD 88.04 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, up 1.03 percent from the previous session. The move came as UBS lowered its price target to USD 135 from USD 147 while maintaining a Buy rating, according to Investing.com on September 22, 2026.

Target cut reflects valuation

The new target is USD 12 below the previous USD 147 level, a reduction of 8.16 percent. The same Investing.com report said CRH had declined 29.5 percent in 2026 while earnings were described as more resilient than those of almost every other construction stock. That combination makes valuation the central issue in the current analyst debate rather than a deterioration in the reported operating picture.

Investing.com also reported on September 22, 2026, that DA Davidson had initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a USD 137 price target, while another target in the report stood at USD 139. The three targets of USD 135, USD 137 and USD 139 are materially above the September 22 closing price, but they represent analyst views rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Stock remains near yearly low

CRH traded between USD 86.90 and USD 88.95 during the September 22, 2026 session. Its 52-week range was USD 85.47 to USD 131.55, leaving the close USD 43.51 below the high and USD 2.57 above the low.

Yahoo Finance listed volume of 2,099,546 shares and an intraday market capitalization of USD 58.711 billion on September 22, 2026. The market data place the stock close to the lower end of its annual range, while the analyst targets imply a substantially higher valuation if operating resilience continues.
