CRH is trading higher in extended hours following the announcement of a strategic agreement to acquire NCC Industry's operations in Denmark and Finland. This expansion into Nordic aggregates and recycling markets continues the company's aggressive growth strategy, which has seen $1.4 billion invested across 17 acquisitions year-to-date. While institutional holdings saw a slight adjustment with Galvin Gaustad and Stein LLC decreasing its stake by 9.6% as reported on October 9, the market appears to be reacting positively to the company's ongoing infrastructure-focused M&A activity.
