On June 30, TopBuild rose 5.35% in pre-market trading at $376.32 per share, with turnover of $42,600. The rebound follows the release of final shareholder election results for the QXO acquisition, which removed market uncertainty regarding the consideration structure.
QXO announced that 91% of TopBuild shareholders elected cash consideration in the merger transaction. Based on this outcome, each TopBuild share will receive $249.71 in cash plus 10.21 shares of QXO common stock. The clarity on allocation resolves a key overhang that had weighed on shares. In the prior session, TopBuild had plunged 12.73% after shareholders formally approved the merger while simultaneously facing passive fund selling pressure ahead of its July 1 removal from the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
The approximately $17 billion transaction was approved by about 99% of QXO shareholders and 78% of TopBuild shareholders, with closing expected on or about July 2. QXO has completed a $3 billion senior notes offering to help fund the deal. Evercore ISI recently cut its TopBuild price target to $360 from $438.
