Ireland/UK: Ireland-based CRH has completed the delisting of its shares from the London Stock Exchange (LSE), two years after making its Wall Street debut. The company, which left the Euronext Dublin Stock Exchange in 2023, said its London-listed ordinary and 7% preference shares had been cancelled as of 08:00 on 20 April 2026.
CRH’s ordinary shares are now listed only on the New York Stock Exchange, where it was admitted to the S&P 500 index - the most influential in global stock markets - late in 2025.
In March 2026, the Irish Times reported that CRH had asked the Irish Government to change the law on financial reporting, seeking Companies Act exemptions that could cut its annual accounting costs by more than €10m. The Dublin-based building materials giant has made direct approaches to the departments of finance and enterprise, saying it has faced a ‘burdensome anomaly’ under Irish law since moving its main market listing to New York in 2023.
CRH’s revenues rose by 5% to US$37.4bn in 2025, with growth of 6% in the final quarter, the group said in full-year results published in February 2026. Favourable demand and acquisitions were credited for the gain.
