How big is it?
CRH bought back $944M of stock in the twelve months to Sep 30, 2026. At that pace, $6.0B covers about 6.4 years of buybacks.
Its diluted share count is down 1.3% from a year earlier.
An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
