(NYSE: BLD) (“TopBuild”) for approximately $17 billion, significantly expanding QXO’s scale and capabilities across the building products value chain. The transaction is expected to be immediately and substantially accretive to the company’s earnings.
TopBuild is the largest distributor and installer of insulation and related building products in North America. The combination will bring together QXO’s leading positions in roofing, waterproofing, lumber-related building materials, and associated products with TopBuild’s insulation capabilities, creating a higher-margin business with expansive value-added offerings for customers.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the shareholders of TopBuild and QXO. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
On April 1, 2026, QXO completed its previously announced acquisition of Kodiak Building Partners (“Kodiak”), a leading distributor of lumber, trusses, and other building materials, for approximately $2.25 billion. Upon completion of the TopBuild transaction, QXO will operate in an addressable market of more than $300 billion and hold leadership positions in key building product verticals in North America:
- #1 in insulation
- #2 in roofing
- #1 in waterproofing
- #1 or #2 in the lumber and building materials sector, in key geographies served
Brad Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of QXO, said: “Over the past 11 months, we’ve built QXO into a market leader through more than $13 billion of acquisitions, closing on Beacon in 2025 and Kodiak earlier this month. TopBuild will be our most significant acquisition yet, making QXO the second largest publicly traded building products distributor in North America, with more than $18 billion of combined company revenue and more than $2 billion of combined company adjusted EBITDA.”
Jacobs continued, “The TopBuild transaction will also give us critical mass in the insulation sector and expand our exposure to large, complex projects like data centers, where scale matters. TopBuild has a deep bench of best-in-class operators, reflected in its industry-leading adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 18%. We plan to replicate their best practices across QXO, including deploying their ‘special OPS’ teams to continuously improve operational excellence and customer service.”
Robert Buck, Chief Executive Officer of TopBuild, said: “We’re excited to join QXO and combine our leadership in insulation installation and specialty distribution with QXO’s scale, technology, and procurement capabilities. Together, we’ll enhance customer service, unlock meaningful cross-selling opportunities, and drive continued growth and operating efficiency. I’m proud of our team’s track record, including a 10-year sales CAGR of 13% and adjusted EPS CAGR of 31%. Thank you to the entire TopBuild team for delivering these exceptional results.”
Following the acquisition of TopBuild, QXO will have approximately 28,000 employees, 1,150 locations across all 50 U.S. states and seven Canadian provinces, and a fleet size of more than 10,000 vehicles.
