CRH's (NYSE:CRH) earnings growth rate lags the 20% CAGR delivered to shareholders
When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the CRH plc (NYSE:CRH) share price has soared 133% in the last half decade. Most would be very happy with that. On top of that, the share price is up 18% in about a quarter. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 9.1% in 90 days).
Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 3.3%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.
