Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 4 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, CRH plc ranks 1 of 5. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does CRH plc Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **CRH plc (CRH)** | $37.4 billion FY2025 | 5.3% | 14.5% | 10.0% | | [Owens Corning Inc (OC)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/owens-corning-inc/) | $10.1 billion FY2025 | 2.6% | 3.6% | -5.2% | | [Eagle Materials Inc (EXP)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/eagle-materials-inc/) | $2.3 billion FY2026 | 2.1% | n/a | 18.4% | | [Smith-Midland Corporation (SMID)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/smith-midland-corporation/) | $93 million FY2025 | 19.0% | 18.2% | 13.4% | | [CPS Technologies Corp.

Select the chart to open it full size.* ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value CRH plc reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001628280-26-009043 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are CRH plc's competitors?
