INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY

Trading above fair value
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 20.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CRH is currently trading at $122.41, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $122.26 to $128.08. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 20.4) is in line with its historical norms (20.2). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.3% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CRH is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $124.68. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $140.67 (+13.7%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
