Director Richard H Fearon buys 3,800 shares at $104.49 amid -24.0% pullback from 52-week high
Director Richard H Fearon purchased 3,800 shares of CRH at $104.49, increasing his holdings to 143,800 shares (+2.7% from prior position). The purchase occurs during a period of pronounced weakness: the stock is -24.0% from its 52-week high of $131.38 and has declined -21.9% over the past 30 days and -21.0% over 90 days. Across Fearon's prior open-market buy activity (2 transactions on other tickers), his trades have averaged a 90-day return of +1.1% with a 100% win rate over that window, though this track record is cross-ticker and carries limited predictive weight for CRH specifically. CRH's fundamentals remain solid: the company reported $11.1B in latest-quarter revenue, $1.5B in net income, and trades at a P/E of 18.08 with annual revenue growth of +5.3%, suggesting the pullback may present relative value independent of Fearon's decision calculus.
Director Richard Fearon buys 1,000 WAT shares at $306.34; stock now -27.4% from 52-week high, -21.4% in 30 days
Director Richard Fearon purchased 1,000 shares of Waters Corp at $306.34 on 2026-03-06, increasing his holdings from 2,302 shares to 3,302 shares (+43.4% increase in position size). The purchase occurs while WAT trades at $299.63, representing -27.4% from its 52-week high of $412.54 and down -21.4% over the prior 30 days. Fearon's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with 100% 90-day win rate and a positive 90-day average return of +1.1%; his same-ticker history at WAT includes a May 2024 buy that was well-timed at the 90-day horizon. The company maintains solid fundamentals with $799.9M in latest quarterly revenue, $148.9M net income, and 7.0% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 44.99 reflects premium valuation even during this drawdown.
