RE:Another possible reason - not a bash.Miscstuff, Please take a look at the many posts I've devoted to this topic over the last year: because of the "amortization of intangible assets" line item from CRH's many acquisitions, you can't look at accounting EPS to value CRH. You have to look at FCF per share, which you can roughly get to by adding the tax-adjusted amortization line back to net income. On my numbers, CRH is trading after today around 11x 2018E free cash flow (basically 11x P/E adding the amortization line back in). Healthcare services stocks trade up to 20x free cash flow across the business cycle. Even with this year's run-up, the stock is still quite cheap. Best, PSDFinancier
