# If CRH plc moves, who benefits? How far does the value-chain ripple reach?
Canonical: https://valuechain.wiki/crh · Facet: ripple · Updated: 2026-09-11T21:31:43.474278+00:00 · Source: ValueChain.wiki (cited money-flow graph)

**Citable summary**: Per the valuechain.wiki graph, CRH plc is directly linked to 3 companies (1 supply, 2 revenue relationships) and reaches 4 companies within two hops; the links are backed by 8 dated sources, 1 of them primary filings (as of 2026-09-11).

CRH plc operates across Global building materials group. After +35.9% in 2025, it corrected -23.6% in 2026. The supply side (avg +42.9%) has moved harder than the stock (-23.6%). That is the classic bottleneck pattern: supplier volume leverage is being priced before this layer's own margin. Among connected nodes the furthest ahead is Caterpillar (+42.9%) and the furthest behind is Lowe's Companies, Inc. (-13.9%). If chain logic explains the gap, the laggard is the next propagation candidate; if not, the link itself deserves a second look. Its operations depend on heavy equipment, vehicles, external raw materials, and energy, while acquisitions expand its reserves and cementitious supply chain.
