CRH Q1 Net Loss Widens to $176M, EPS Hits ($0.27) Despite 9% Revenue Growth
CRH sits 31% above its 52-week low of $86.825.
Summary
CRH Public Ltd Co reported its first-quarter 2026 results, showing a significant widening of its net loss to ($176M) and diluted loss per share to ($0.27), compared to ($94M) and ($0.15) respectively in the prior-year quarter. This bottom-line deterioration occurred despite a 9.1% increase in revenue to $7.37 billion, driven by positive demand and recent acquisitions, and an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. The increased losses contrast with the company's strong 2025 performance, which saw record financial results. This material increase in net loss, despite top-line growth, is a key concern for investors, suggesting potential margin pressures or higher operating costs. Traders will be closely watching for further details on the drivers of these losses and management's updated outlook for profitability.
