Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (BECN): $123.77
Market Cap: $7.62 B
Deal Size: $11 B
Beacon Roofing Supply has finally agreed to an $11 billion buyout offer from billionaire Brad Jacobs’ firm, QXO (QXO)—just weeks after rejecting an offer that was only 10 cents lower, and actively defending against a hostile takeover.
In January, QXO offered to acquire the roofing and building products distributor for $124.25 per share in cash. This quickly escalated into a hostile takeover attempt, which Beacon argued “significantly undervalued” the company, urging shareholders not to tender their shares. After multiple extensions of the hostile tender offer, Beacon has now capped the months-long saga by accepting QXO’s slightly improved bid.
