What CRH does
CRH plc is a building materials group founded in 1936 and based in Dublin, Ireland. It operates in North America, the UK, the rest of Europe, and internationally through three segments: Americas Materials Solutions, Americas Building Solutions, and International Solutions. Its core business is producing and selling aggregates, cementitious materials, ready mixed concrete and mortars, and asphalt, along with paving and construction services for transportation infrastructure and buildings. CRH also makes finished building products, especially for North America. These include precast and pre-stressed concrete, polymer-based underground vaults, drainage systems and enclosures for water, energy, transportation, and telecom networks, and outdoor living products such as pavers, retaining walls, fencing, and packaged concrete mixes. Its customers work on public infrastructure and on commercial and residential construction and renovation.

What is CRH worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, CRH's most-likely value is about $87 versus a recent price near $82 (7% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$48) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
