CRH will acquire Arcosa for $8.5 billion in the biggest deal in the company's history. The majority of Arcosa's revenue is exposed to US infrastructure spending through its production of aggregates and derivatives, as well as engineered structures for utilities.
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.
Demand for privately funded construction projects is exposed to a shift in the economic environment and higher interest rates.
