CRH to Report Third-Quarter Results on Oct. 29 After Shares Close at $86.54
Key Facts
CRH will report third-quarter 2026 results before the U.S. market opens on Oct. 29 and hold an investor call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time that day, according to the company’s financial calendar. The results follow the stock’s close at $86.54 on Oct. 28, according to EL7 data. Confirmed third-quarter figures are not available in the information here, so the revenue, net income and earnings-per-share figures in the previous draft cannot be verified. The claim that the company cut its full-year outlook is also unconfirmed; it had reaffirmed its guidance with its second-quarter results. Ahead of today’s release, the details that can be confirmed are that guidance and second-quarter growth compared with the same period.
In its second-quarter results announcement, CRH kept its 2026 net income outlook at a range of $3.9 billion to $4.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA at $8.1 billion to $8.5 billion. It also forecast diluted earnings per share of $5.60 to $6.05. The company said in its release that it was “reaffirming” those ranges for fiscal 2026. The guidance provides a benchmark for assessing any update accompanying the third-quarter results, but there is no evidence here that the company has changed it. The Oct. 29 release is expected to allow quarterly performance to be compared with the annual outlook, while the call scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time is when the results will be discussed.
Second-quarter results showed growth in key metrics: revenue rose 6% year over year to $10.8 billion and net income increased 13% to $1.5 billion, according to CRH’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted EBITDA rose 7% to $2.6 billion. The company reported net income of $1.3 billion in the prior-year second quarter, according to the comparison in the filing. That trend provides a basis for comparison when third-quarter figures are released, but does not by itself establish whether revenue or earnings growth continued. The new results will need to be read alongside what the company reports for the quarter and its outlook for the rest of the year.
In the background to the company’s performance, CRH said in its first-quarter results announcement that underlying demand remained strong across its key markets and that its outlook for the business remained positive. Chief Executive Jim Mintern added that the company was “consistently encouraged by the strength of underlying demand across our key markets,” despite the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty cited in the release. That message dates to the first-quarter announcement and is not a separate third-quarter update. For the full year, the company reported that 2025 net income rose 8% to $3.8 billion, while adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $7.7 billion. The 2025 results provide context for the company’s performance before this year, while third-quarter figures and any guidance update remain subject to the Oct. 29 release.
CRH announced on Oct. 23 that it had completed its acquisition of Arcosa, according to a company statement. That came six days before the third-quarter results announcement, but does not by itself establish a specific financial impact on the period’s figures or the full-year outlook. The company had reaffirmed its 2026 net income, adjusted EBITDA and earnings-per-share ranges in its second-quarter results. Any indication of the acquisition’s impact on guidance or performance will therefore need to come from the company’s release or call. The next scheduled event remains publication of third-quarter results before the U.S. market opens on Oct. 29, followed by the call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
