CRH Q3 2026: revenue up 3.0%, EPS misses as guidance is cut

CRH's Q3 2026 revenue grew 3.0% to $11.40 billion, but earnings quality weakened: diluted EPS fell to $1.86 and missed the $2.20 consensus, while FY26 net income guidance was cut to $3.1-$3.3 billion. Read the quarter as a top-line-resilient, margin-and-guidance story; the buyback and Arcosa deal are capital-allocation offsets, not an earnings fix.
