The period balance: money in, money out
Across the Form 4 filings submitted between Feb 25, 2026 and May 18, 2026, CRH plc open-market activity adds up to 2 purchases worth $601k and 1 sale worth $156k. The net balance is $445k on the buy side.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A buying balance like CRH plc's is the less common case in the S&P 500: its insiders are already paid in stock and still put in their own money. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

How to read this data
None of the 1 sale in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. CRH's 2 open-market purchases (code P) are the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from May 18, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
20 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
