CRH's $8.5 Billion Acquisition of Arcosa Introduces Additional Cyclicality; Valuation Lowered

Matthew Donen

CRH is a global supplier of building materials, with the majority of its revenue earned in North America. Infrastructure is CRH's largest end market, representing 40% of group sales. As the largest roadbuilder in North America, CRH is well positioned to benefit from a 50% increase in funding for highway and road construction as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. CRH's investment thesis hinges on rising US construction activity driven by funding certainty for US infrastructure projects and reshoring.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As the largest roadbuilder in North America, CRH is well positioned for a rise in public infrastructure projects underpinned by the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will see a 50% increase in federal highway funding and remains mostly uninvested so far.

Bears

Demand for privately funded residential construction projects has slowed because higher interest rates limit cement price increases.
