Fresh CRH takeover rumours ‘highly speculative’

Brokers have described fresh rumours of CRH attracting takeover interest from global peers as being “highly speculative” and “unlikely”.

A market round-up report on Wednesday’s trading session on the London Stock Exchange — in one of the British daily newspapers — mentioned rumours “of a major deal”, concerning CRH, as being “rife”.

The Dublin-headquartered building materials giant switched its primary share listing from the Iseq to London this time last year.
