It may be down now, but a company which has holdings in 3 continent's cement construction industry and has good dividends seems like a good buy. Their debt is managed, they may be reporting losses, but all around I feel this is a good purchase.

Nice dividend (especially with the recent beat down) as well as providing international exposure.

Management expects an "extremely challenging" environment moving forward. Deceptively low P/E won't provide the case for buying if the E gets hit in Q1 or Q2 of this year. It's a great company, but in the short run, it's going to be hard for investors to find an upside.

This Irish company is surprisingly broadly invested globally, in Europe, the US and China. They've made some long-term acquisitions lately that will payoff when things, inevitably, improve. The stimulus packages in the US and China include infrastructural spending and they'll reap the benefits.

This company has already shown me a 34% gain since it's October lows. Any boom in the cement industry here or abroad will boost it's gains even further.

Globally diversified, proven skill at acquistion with many companies available for the picking in this economic climate. Strong ownership of aggregates in their markets, a proven competitive advantage.

CRH looks cheap, with a PE under 10, a PEG ratio of 0.7, Price/Cash flow of 6, and Price/Book of 1.6 (numbers based on price of $38.37 on close of 05/16/2008).
CRH also has a dividend yield of 2.6% and has grown dividends by over 20% for the last 5 years.
CRH might be struggling now with the housing slump in the USA, and also somewhat in Ireland and the UK with their slump, but when things seem the worst is often a good time to buy in anticipation of the recovery. CRH has noted that the lower US$ has hurt earnings. But the US$ seems to have bottomed against the Euro, so that should improve. CRH also is active in Eastern Europe, where it can take advantage of growth there, plus CRH has bought an interest in some cement operations in China. CRH would also be able to take advantage of more highway spending in the USA and other countries.
Ireland is also a very business friendly country with low taxes, in some ways friendlier to business than the USA government.

The Celtic Tiger is pausing for breath. This in-country DIY group will benefit from people who will now remodel instead of buying as the housing market cools.

3/12/08 Acquired Pavestone Company for $540 million cash. Pavestone is United States largest manufacturer of precast concrete landscaping products. 70% of Pavestones revenues come from retail outlets (Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc.). CRH also supplies retail outlets with similar product under the Oldcastle name. This move more than doubles their U.S. market share on these type of products.
