Will CRH reduce debt?In view of the new political realities in the US and the talk of infrastructure spending, the rise of inflationary pressures will most likely force the Fed to raise interest rates that will raise the cost of running the business for the CRH and will make acquisitions with debt more expensive. Can we expect a stock issue by CRH? It would be probably wise to do that, if not now, at least when the stock hits $8. A 10million shares would fetch 80million capital and make a major acquisition, albeit with some dilution and lower valuation in the short term. So, the best options for CRH is to pay off debt ASAP and strengthen its balance sheet with stock issue.
