Investors are reacting enthusiastically to a possible takeover of TopBuild. One analyst has also already raised his thumb.
• QXO wants to buy TopBuild
• Evercore ISI analyst raises price target
• TopBuild shares jump
The building materials wholesaler and BayWa competitor QXO says it has reached a final agreement to take over TopBuild Corp. closed, an installer and specialist dealer of insulation and related building materials for the construction industry. The transaction, through which QXO will significantly expand its size and competencies along the entire value chain for construction products, has a volume of 17 billion dollars.
The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from TopBuild and QXO shareholders. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
It was agreed that TopBuild shareholders will receive $505.00 per share in cash or 20.2 shares of QXO common stock for each of their shares, subject to pro rata distribution, provided that the total transaction consideration is paid approximately 45 percent in cash and 55 percent in shares of QXO common stock. The valuation of a TopBuild share at $505 corresponds to a premium of 23.1 percent compared to the closing price on April 17th.
