CRH Solidifying Its Industry Leadership With $2.1b Acquisition
I recommend CRH plc as a Buy with a $106/share target, driven by robust M&A, infrastructure tailwinds, and strong pricing power. CRH's aggressive acquisitions, including Eco Material Technologies, expand its materials supply, distribution, and presence in high-growth segments like data centers and reindustrialization. Ongoing IIJA funding and macro trends in manufacturing and data centers provide a long runway for volume and margin growth, despite short-term weather headwinds.
