QXO

QXO is a publicly traded company founded by Brad Jacobs, aiming to become the market leader in building products distribution. The company’s strategy centers on building a customer-focused, tech-enabled, and innovation-driven business. Growth will be achieved through a combination of accretive mergers and acquisitions (M&A), organic growth, and greenfield expansion. Their approach emphasizes exceptional customer experiences, operational efficiency improvements, and leveraging data, digital tools, and AI to modernize a traditionally under-digitized industry. The building products distribution market presents a nearly $800 billion global opportunity with significant room for innovation, particularly in areas like B2B e-commerce, price optimization, demand forecasting, and digital customer connectivity. QXO’s leadership, under Brad Jacobs (who has founded and scaled five multibillion-dollar publicly traded companies and completed over 500 acquisitions), brings a proven track record of building successful teams and generating long-term shareholder value. On April 30, 2025, QXO completed its first acquisition: Beacon Building Products.
