CRH Share Price Today: Live Price, Forecast & Analysis

George Edward Howard Thompson • 2026-08-03 • Reviewed by Hanna Berg

If you keep CRH on your watchlist, you’ve probably noticed the quote moves more than the headlines explain. On July 31, 2026, Stephens & Co. trimmed its price target for CRH from $135 to $125 (Yahoo Finance), and the practical questions follow from there: what CRH costs in euros, what analysts actually expect, and whether the dividend makes this a stock to hold or a stock to sell — answers that aren’t identical across data providers, but every claim here is something you can check yourself.

What price are CRH shares in euros today?

Live price from major exchanges

  • NYSE (ticker: CRH): $105.77 as of 2026-07-31, the same quote shown in the snapshot above
  • London Stock Exchange (ticker: CRH): trades in pence, though the verified data for this article didn’t include a live LSE quote
  • Euro price: depends on the exchange rate at the moment you check

Both listings are the same company, but they quote in different currencies. That’s why “what is the CRH share price in euros today?” doesn’t have a single answer. It depends on which exchange you’re looking at and the foreign-exchange rate attached to that quote.

Conversion: NYSE price to euros

The math

At a EUR/USD rate of about 1.10, the $105.77 NYSE quote is roughly €96.16. Move the rate to 1.08, and the same share is about €97.94.

For euro-based buyers, the NYSE route is the most direct: you buy in dollars and your broker converts to euros at the prevailing USD/EUR rate. The London route adds a pound-to-euro conversion on top of the pence price. If you want to track that leg, our pound-to-euro rate update has the cross-rate in context.

Where to check the official CRH share price

  • CRH’s investor relations page publishes the dividend calendar and company announcements (CRH investor relations (official dividends page))
  • Live quotes appear on your broker and on market data platforms like Yahoo Finance and TradingView
  • The official page gives you the reference data; your broker gives you the executable price

The implication: the “CRH share price today” is never a single official number. Company filings settle the facts that don’t move, like dividend dates and payout policy, while the quote you actually trade from is set by the market.

What is the forecast for CRH shares?

Analyst consensus and price targets

The gap in the numbers

The analyst price range in the key table above runs from $110 to $152, a $42 spread that shows how little consensus exists about CRH’s next move.

According to Public.com (analyst survey), the consensus from 13 analysts is Buy. That sounds decisive, until you remember that rating-model services work differently: Barron’s has gone the other way, and the $110–$152 range means the bulls and bears are both staking out claims far apart. The real forecast, in other words, is visible in the spread, not in the average.

Factors influencing CRH’s future performance

  • Infrastructure spending: CRH sells materials for roads, bridges, and non-residential construction.
  • Interest rates: more expensive capital slows construction starts and pressures materials demand.
  • Input costs: cement, fuel, and transport costs move quarterly margins.
  • Dividend policy: a rising dividend signals management’s confidence in cash flow, but it also commits the company to returning more cash to shareholders.

The forecast for CRH is really a forecast for the construction cycle. If infrastructure budgets hold up and rates stop climbing, the bullish analyst surveys have the evidence on their side. If the economy slows instead, the cautious rating models will look like the better guide.

Long-term vs. short-term outlook

The trade-off

Long-term investors get a dividend that CRH raised in 2026; short-term traders get a wide trading range. The same stock can satisfy both, but not at the same price.

Short-term traders are buying volatility, and the verified data gives them plenty: price targets from $110 to $152, a Sell label sitting next to a Buy consensus, and a stock that has traded at $105.77 and $122.96 in different data snapshots. Long-term investors, by contrast, are buying a simpler story: a company that made its 2026 dividend payment bigger, not smaller.

Bottom line: the analyst field is split between a Buy-leaning survey and a cautious rating model. Short-term traders should respect the $110–$152 range. Long-term investors can wait for the next earnings report to see whether the dividend increase is backed by stronger cash flow.

Is CRH a buy, sell, or hold?

Current analyst ratings overview

  • Public.com’s analyst survey: 46% Strong Buy, 46% Buy, 8% Hold, and 0% Sell (Public.com (analyst survey))
  • Barron’s rating model has moved the other way — its downgrade from Hold to Sell appears in the timeline above
  • Stephens & Co. sits in between: Overweight in name, but with a price target trimmed to $125

The honest answer to “buy, sell, or hold” is that the market hasn’t decided. The analyst survey leans Buy, the rating model leans Sell, and the price targets lean toward “lower than before.” That combination is typical of a stock whose fundamentals are solid but whose valuation and near-term outlook are being questioned.

When to consider selling CRH shares

The catch

Selling makes sense when the reason you bought disappears. If you bought for income, the dividend is still growing. If you bought for price upside, the analyst range has a ceiling at $152 and the cautious rating models are already on the record.

For income investors, the sell trigger would be a dividend cut or a fundamentally weaker payout outlook, neither of which appears in the verified data. For traders, the trigger is closer to the $110 low end of the analyst range: if the stock breaks below the bearish target, the Sell label gains credibility and the upside case loses its footing.

Dividend yield as a holding incentive

  • The forward yield from Yahoo Finance sits at 1.64%, while Barron’s also lists the next ex-dividend date as 2026-08-14
  • TradingView’s dividend data shows $0.37 as the last dividend per share, which makes the confirmed 5% increase to $0.39 line up almost exactly (TradingView (charting platform))
  • Morningstar’s quote page shows trailing and forward yields at 1.20% and a total yield of 2.65%

A 1.2% to 1.6% dividend yield isn’t a high-income play. It’s a gradual income play: the yield is modest, the growth is real.

Upsides

  • Dividend increased 5% in 2026, signalling management confidence
  • Consensus leans Buy among 13 analysts surveyed
  • U.S. infrastructure spending provides a tailwind for materials demand

Downsides

  • Barron’s labels it a Sell, creating a split in ratings
  • Price target range $110–$152 shows wide disagreement
  • No clear catalyst for recent price moves

Why is the CRH share price falling today?

Market factors impacting CRH today

The verified data shows no CRH-specific negative news surfaced on the day of the latest quote. The intraday move appears to be driven by broader market conditions or sector rotation rather than company fundamentals.

Company-specific news (earnings, outlook)

No earnings report or guidance change was published in the verified period. The last major catalyst was Stephens & Co.’s price target cut on July 31, 2026, which was already priced in.

Broader sector trends

Construction materials stocks often move with interest rate expectations and infrastructure spending headlines. Without a clear catalyst, the price action is likely noise.

“The 2026 quarterly dividend represented a 5% increase on the prior year, confirming management’s confidence in cash flow.” – CRH investor relations (company filing)

“Barron’s downgraded CRH from Hold to Sell on May 6, 2026, citing valuation concerns.” – Barron’s analyst note

What is CRH’s dividend for 2026?

Projected dividend per share

Based on the confirmed quarterly dividend of $0.39, the annual forward dividend is $1.56, yielding 1.64% at the current share price. Some providers show a lower yield of 1.20% depending on the price used.

Dividend growth history

CRH raised the quarterly dividend from $0.37 to $0.39 in 2026, a 5% increase. The last dividend per share was $0.37 per TradingView.

Ex-dividend dates and payment schedule

  • Next ex-dividend date: 2026-08-14 (Barron’s)
  • Previous ex-dividend date: 2026-03-06 (CRH investor relations)
  • Payment date for the August ex-dividend is yet to be announced

The pattern: CRH pays quarterly, and the board has signalled a commitment to growth.
