1. Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (NASDAQ:BECN)

Beacon Roofing Supply is a distributor of residential and commercial roofing products, along with complementary building materials, to contractors, builders, and retailers in the U.S. and Canada. The company offers a wide range of products including roofing materials, insulation, siding, decking, and various tools and safety gear.

Recently, the company announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which QXO will acquire Beacon for $124.35 per share in cash.

This month, six insiders, including the CTO, sold a total of $11.39 million worth of Beacon Roofing shares at an average price of $123.39 per share. Insiders used the price gain to sell the shares before the QXO acquisition is completed. The stock increased 20.11% year-to-date, currently trading at $122.01 per share.

Cramer recently commented on the stock and said, “Beacon is roofing, and it got bought by Brad Jacobs through an entity that he created. That company’s PE was compressed because of the housing problem. But if you have really bad tariffs, and they eventually go after Canadian lumber, then you’ll regret you did any of these cause housing will crater. But if they don’t go after lumber. . .”
