Gekko Brief

AI summary

CRH closes at $86.15, down 0.6%, and sits below both its 50-day average of $96.36 and its 200-day average of $110.31, with the 50-day itself below the 200-day. Shares are near a 52-week low, having touched $85.47 in the past year against a high of $131.55. The GekkoIndex reads 69.1, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while price stands 29.7% below the Gekko Fair Value of $122.48.

The stock hit a fresh 52-week low of $86.83 this week, a decline widely noted alongside management's continued share buybacks and a P/E of 15.61 with a PEG of 0.82. Separately, Morgan Stanley resumed coverage with an overweight rating and a $139.00 price target, pointing to CRH's position in construction, exposure to infrastructure and data centers, pricing power, and inorganic growth. These items sit against a backdrop of a prior quarter in which CRH reported record results, including $10.8 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in adjusted EBITDA, alongside its agreement to acquire Arcosa.

Over the next 20 trading days, the next earnings date falls outside that window, on 4 November. Congress recorded 1 buy and 0 sells in the last 90 days. Seasonality over 5 years shows a 20-day average return of 0.7% from this point, with gains in 3 of those years. Analyst coverage stands at 12 firms, all with buy ratings, and a consensus target of $134.85. The gap to Gekko Fair Value bears watching given the current distance from both moving averages.
