CRH: Expecting Full-Year Outperformance After Q1 Beat

I am retaining a 'Buy' rating for CRH following my evaluation of its recent quarterly results and full-year outlook. CRH's topline grew strongly by 18.4% YoY in 1Q2026, with its Americas Materials Solutions unit being the standout performer. I see upside to management's FY26 EBITDA guidance, considering untapped government funding and the company's active portfolio reshaping activities.
