CRH Stock and Options Trade Setup — CRH plc
S&P 500 · Building Materials & Infrastructure · Moderate-liquidity options · Mega cap · ~$58B
CRH made a strategically astute decision relisting in the U.S. to capture the full valuation of a company that generates 75%+ of its EBITDA from the American market, which trades at a premium to European peers. The U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is a 10-year, $550B stimulus to exactly the segments CRH dominates — highways, bridges, airports, and water infrastructure — with aggregates and asphalt being near-irreplaceable inputs to all of them. CRH's quarry and aggregate assets are among the most defensible in industry: impossible to replicate near population centres, legally protected, and benefiting from pricing power as demand outstrips new supply. The company is deploying capital acquisitively in building solutions (higher-margin products) to improve the mix. Free cash flow conversion is exceptional, supporting a programme of buybacks and dividend growth.

CRH Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is CRH a good options trade today?+
CRH plc (CRH) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 74/100, ranking it top 16% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is CRH's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
CRH's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 70%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past CRH trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for CRH?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the CRH setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh CRH's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If CRH drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for CRH?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to CRH: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is CRH outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. CRH currently scores 74.
How does CRH compare to other Building Materials & Infrastructure setups?+
CRH's sector rank and percentile against other Building Materials & Infrastructure tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Building Materials & Infrastructure Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
