CRH has been singled in "companies to watch" for 2021 in a glowing assessment by Moody's because it says the building materials giant has been less damaged by the Covid-19 lockdowns than some of its European rivals. 

In its outlook on European building materials firms, Moody's reiterates that it has a stable rating on the Irish-run multinational.
