Here's How Much $100 Invested In CRH 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

CRH's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRH#NYSE">CRH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.93 million shares sold short, which is 1.62% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.34 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CRH has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing CRH's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, CRH's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.11%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Is CRH Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Looking into the current session, CRH Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRH#NYSE">CRH</a>) shares are trading at $90.66, after a 0.55% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 3.85%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 17.44%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748880020_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does CRH P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
CRH has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 21.65 of the Construction Materials industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748880020_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 30:
 CRH PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRH#NYSE">CRH</a>): The building materials company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week. There was minimal news for the company outside of a recent quarterly financial report in early May. The company <a href="https://www.crh.com/media/press-releases/2025/crh-q1-2025-results">reported </a>revenue growth of 3% year-over-year with a figure that beat Street estimates. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share. Bernstein initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating shortly after financial results. CRH CEO Jim Mintern said the first quarter results showed strength and highlighted the company's differentiated strategy and recent acquisitions.
"Although the first quarter is typically the seasonally least significant period for our business, we are encouraged by the continued strength of underlying demand across our key markets," Mintern said.

This marked more than 10 straight quarters or earnings per share that beat analyst estimates. The company beat analyst revenue estimates in the quarter, marking nine straight quarters of beating analyst estimates. Analysts were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPWR/analyst-ratings">mixed on the quarter </a>with strong ratings remaining but several price targets taken lower.

In April, the company beat earnings per share and revenue estimates from analysts, marking more than 10 straight quarters of beats for both figures. Sales were up 48% year-over-year in the first quarter with strong organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. Analysts raised<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APH/analyst-ratings"> the price targets </a>after the results and more are diving into the stock in recent weeks. UBS recently maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised the price target from $85 to $106. Citi maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $85 to $100. The stock was up over 8% for the week and shares are up over 35% in the last year. Amphenol could be one of the top stocks to watch heading into its next earnings report after a series of consecutive beats and analyst price target increases.

The company reported sales growth of 9.4% year-over-year with sales beating analyst estimates. Earnings per share from the company missed Street estimates in the quarter.

The company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share in the first quarter with revenue up 26% year-over-year. The company ended the quarter with remaining performance obligations of $6.7 billion, up 34% year-over-year.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
