Buying back sharesReducing the float is always a noble idea, but this is a practice with mature companies and not junior growth ones. CRH needs all the cash it can get to broaden its market base and be profitable. Reducing the float will reduce its ability to finance new acquisitions and i don't think it's a practical idea. On the other hand, we must admit since the company generates FCF, it may be an opportunity to reduce the float now that the sp is very low, and extend the time line for accretive acquisitions in the future. There are pros and cons to consider and i am sure Management will consider both.
