Nov 4 close

$98.80+5.27 (+5.6%)

Gekko Brief

AI summaryNov 4 close

CRH shares climbed this week after third-quarter results showed revenue of $11.4 billion, up 3% year-over-year, with diluted EPS pre-impairment of $2.09 against a $2.06 estimate, producing a 4.9% reaction. Adjusted EBITDA margin eased 80 bps as higher energy, haulage and raw-material costs and weaker residential activity pressured results, leading CRH to update its full-year outlook. The company also completed its $8.5 billion Arcosa acquisition, launching cash tender and exchange offers for Arcosa notes, invested $1.9 billion across 27 additional acquisitions year to date, and introduced a "Velocity" initiative targeting $400 million in annual Adjusted EBITDA. Truist Securities raised its price target, while DA Davidson trimmed its target to $114 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing cost headwinds.

CRH closed at $98.80, up 5.6%, sitting between its 50-day average of $87.22 and 200-day average of $103.71. The GekkoIndex reads 44.7, placing the stock in the Distribution zone, down 13.4 points over five sessions. Price stands 16.5% above the Gekko Fair Value of $84.78.

Over the next 20 trading days, the next earnings date falls on 17 February 2027, outside this window. In the last 90 days, Congress recorded 2 buys and 0 sells, alongside 2 billionaire holders. Seasonality over five years shows an average 5.7% move across this stretch, positive in 4 of those years, with the stock's typical 20-day move at 6.2%, both worth noting alongside the current Distribution reading.
