CRH has confirmed plans to delist from the London Stock Exchange (LSE), marking another significant step in the building materials producer’s shift toward the US capital markets.
The move, which remains subject to shareholder approval, follows the company’s 2023 decision to designate the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as its primary listing.
The announcement comes after CRH initiated a review of its LSE ordinary share listing and preference share capital structure on 18 February 2026. In its statement, the company said the review examined trading activity on the LSE alongside the regulatory, administrative and cost implications of maintaining dual listings. The company also highlighted the additional obligations associated with its five per cent and seven per cent preference shares as a factor in the decision. Following the review, the board concluded that delisting from the LSE is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The proposal also includes the cancellation of the preference shares, pending approval.
According to its release, CRH will now seek approval for the proposed Preference Share Cancellations at its 2026 annual general meeting on 7 May 2026, followed by separate meetings of preference shareholders on 21 May 2026.
