On August 20, QXO Inc fell 6.52% in regular trading, trading at $13.20 per share with turnover of $116 million. The decline came as multiple brokerages lowered their near-term earnings forecasts despite the company's Q2 revenue exceeding expectations.
QXO reported Q2 revenue of $3.25 billion, up from $1.91 billion a year earlier and beating the consensus estimate of $3.18 billion. However, adjusted EPS of $0.08 declined from $0.11 year-over-year. Oppenheimer issued a report noting that an unclear outlook on macroeconomic improvement led it to lower 2026 to 2028 earnings estimates, though it maintained an outperform rating and $32 price target. Its updated model incorporates QXO's TopBuild acquisition, which closed July 1, and anticipates the deal will be accretive. Separately, Truist trimmed its 2026 EBITDA estimate to $1.28 billion from $1.34 billion and its 2027 estimate to $2.13 billion from $2.26 billion, while maintaining a buy rating and $26 target. The combined downward revisions reflect uncertainty around the timing of a residential roofing recovery and broader macro headwinds.
