Company Report

CRH's Acquisition of Arcosa Complements Its Portfolio, but Is Fully Reflected in the Price

CRH is a global supplier of building materials, with the majority of its revenue earned in North America. Infrastructure is CRH's largest end market, representing 40% of group sales. As the largest roadbuilder in North America, CRH is well positioned to benefit from a 50% increase in funding for highway and road construction as part of recently signed US legislation. Funding certainty for US infrastructure projects and reshoring activity, combined with high entry barriers for upstream building materials, enable regular price increases for building materials.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As the largest roadbuilder in North America, CRH is well positioned for a rise in public infrastructure projects underpinned by the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will see a 50% increase in federal highway funding and remains mostly uninvested so far.

Bears

Demand for privately funded construction projects is exposed to a shift in the economic environment and higher interest rates.
