Shares of QXO dropped about 23% in July following the July 1 closing of the $17 billion TopBuild deal, its largest acquisition to date. Investors appeared concerned about debt load, potential dilution and limited upside for margin expansion since TopBuild already has strong margins; most TopBuild shareholders opted for cash over QXO stock. Rising oil prices and higher Treasury yields in July also weighed on cyclical housing and building-supply names, pressuring QXO's stock. » Więcej na finance.yahoo.com

QXO has completed the acquisition of TopBuild, strengthening its market position in North American building materials segments and was largely approved by shareholders.

TopBuild has entered into supplemental agreements to its senior notes that eliminate the change-of-control offer required by the merger agreement and remove most of the restrictive covenants as well as certain defeasance provisions. The changes apply to the 4.125% notes due 2032 and the 5.625% notes due 2034 and will only take effect if the conditions of the tender offers and consent solicitations are satisfied. The adjustments are linked to the announced takeover by QXO, under which shareholders may choose by June 29 between $505.00 in cash or 20.200 QXO shares per TopBuild share; the total deal value is $17.0 billion. » Więcej na de.investing.com
