QXO's TopBuild Deal Puts Industry on Notice -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-20

1100 ET - QXO's $17 billion deal for TopBuild changes the conversation around the size of the deals QXO will look to pursue in the future, says D.A. Davidson analyst Kurt Yinger. "While not surprising that QXO remains active on the acquisition front, we hadn't necessarily viewed BLD as a high-probability target considering the size of such a transaction," he says. Builder FirstSource is now likely to be seen as a potential target, Yinger says. Additionally, the speed at which QXO is buying scaled businesses "could increase the urgency of other potential acquirors eyeing the building products distribution space," he says.(nicholas.miller@wsj.com)
