What Happened?
CRH (CRH) stock fell yesterday even after Wells Fargo upgraded the construction materials giant from Neutral to Overweight.
The bank had downgraded CRH stock at the start of 2026, but is now reversing course. Wells Fargo’s analysts say the recent weakness in CRH stock looks “overdone.”
The upgrade comes with a $135 price target, implying roughly 16% upside from current levels. Wells Fargo is backing that number with a 12.5x enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple, citing CRH’s consistent free cash flows and strong track record of acquisitions.
Two things stood out in the bank’s note.
- First, European demand for construction materials is holding up better than the stock’s recent decline would suggest.
- Second, CRH’s ongoing M&A activity, including its 2025 acquisition of Eco Material, isn’t being properly valued by the market right now.

What the Market Is Telling Us About CRH Stock
CRH stock has had a rough start to 2026, down around 8% year-to-date. But the underlying business tells a different story.
- CRH just reported record full-year 2025 results.
- Revenue hit $37.4 billion, up 5% year-over-year.
- Adjusted EBITDA came in at $7.7 billion, up 11%.
- That marked the company’s 12th consecutive year of margin expansion.
- Free cash flow was $5 billion, up 18% from the prior year.
- The Eco Material acquisition is also off to a strong start.
- Management flagged early wins on commercial and logistics synergies, and expects roughly $200 million of net incremental EBITDA from 2025 acquisitions in 2026.
- CRH now has over 125 cementitious locations across North America after the deal closed.
Looking ahead, CRH guided for 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 billion to $8.5 billion. That’s another year of double-digit growth off an already record base.
The company is active on over 100 data center construction projects in the U.S., a fast-growing revenue stream that plays directly into its connected portfolio of aggregates, roads, and water infrastructure.
Wells Fargo’s point about M&A being underappreciated is worth noting. CRH has done over 100 acquisitions in the last three years and expects to deploy up to $40 billion over the next five years between M&A and growth capital spending.
CRH stock may have been beaten down, but the fundamentals suggest the selloff has gone further than the business warrants.
