Patient Capital Opportunity Equity Strategy stated the following regarding QXO, Inc. (NYSE:QXO) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“QXO, Inc. (NYSE:QXO) was the top contributor to performance during the quarter following the completion of its $11B acquisition of Beacon Roofing in April. This marks the first of what is expected to be a series of acquisitions, as the company pursues a roll-up strategy in the highly fragmented building products distribution industry. QXO is leveraging a proven playbook that its management team has successfully executed across other sectors. With a strong track record and investor confidence, the company benefits from the ability to raise capital on attractive terms, giving it a competitive edge vs peers. Furthermore, management has proven their price discipline walking away from a bidding war for GMS Inc., which was ultimately acquired by Home Depot. We view this disciplined approach as a testament to management’s long-term focus. Over the next decade, QXO is targeting more than $50B in annual revenue. We have high conviction in Brad Jacobs’ leadership and believe the company is well positioned to become a long term compounder.”
