What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide ($35.94 to $116.51). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $29.11 – $130.44 · fair‑value band $35.94 – $116.51 · the $97.66 price screens above the $70.57 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 20, 2026.
Analysis
CRH plc (CRH) currently trades at $97.66, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $70.57, implying the stock looks roughly 27.7% overvalued today. We read business quality at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, CRH plc generated revenue of $38.1B at a net margin of 9.7%. Revenue grew 9.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.8%. Net debt stands at $15.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $35.94 (bear case) to $116.51 (bull case); at $97.66, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 25% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -60% fair-value upside, at -28%, CRH screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($103.02) versus Dividend Discount ($23.68). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
