CRH (IE0001827041) was trading at EUR 73.28 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026, up 0.84 percent from the prior close of EUR 72.67. According to Markets Insider on September 22, 2026, UBS cut its CRH target from USD 147.00 to USD 135.00 while maintaining a Buy rating.

UBS trims target on valuation concerns

The target reduction puts the latest analyst view below the previous USD 147.00 level, but the retained Buy rating keeps the research stance constructive. MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that UBS maintained its Buy rating and that the USD 135.00 target implied 54.93 percent upside from the USD 87.14 reference price used in that report.

The valuation message matters because the target was reduced even as the latest quarter exceeded the cited consensus. MarketBeat said CRH reported adjusted earnings of USD 2.21 per share against USD 2.02 expected, a USD 0.19 difference.

Second-quarter revenue advances

CRH's second-quarter revenue reached USD 10.78 billion, compared with USD 10.68 billion expected, according to MarketBeat's September 22, 2026 report. The same report said revenue increased 5.60 percent year over year, giving investors a concrete operating comparison alongside the target reset.

CRH's investor-relations page states that the company published its second-quarter 2026 results on July 30, 2026. The business supplies aggregates, cementitious materials, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and infrastructure products across North America and Europe, with the Americas representing a central operating footprint.

Euro quote remains slightly higher

At Lang & Schwarz, CRH stock was trading at EUR 73.28 on October 2, 2026 at 2:02 p.m. CEST, plus 0.84 percent versus the prior close of EUR 72.67. The next market question is whether operating growth can offset the lower analyst valuation framework.
