QXO: High Risk, Even Higher Conviction

QXO is the newest project of serial entrepreneur Brad Jacobs, who has a strong track record of driving outsized returns at prior ventures United Rentals and XPO. The building distribution industry is characterized by high fragmentation and low tech penetration, making it ripe for the Jacobs playbook of utilizing scale and tech leadership to drive value creation. A 60% YTD pullback in shares offers a highly attractive entry point towards our target of a $100bn market cap by 2035, yielding a 20%+ equity IRR.

QXO Trades Below Book Value, And The Rate Hike May Work In Its Favor

QXO, Inc. trades below book value and at a market cap less than its recent TopBuild acquisition, despite assembling a leading building products distribution platform. I see market fears over rates and housing as misplaced; higher rates actually enhance QXO's acquisition pipeline and competitive positioning for future roll-ups. Q2 showed 70% YoY revenue growth, a strong cash position, and successful integration progress, though margins compressed due to mix shift and upfront investments.

Reported margin expansion is largely due to inventory adjustments; true profitability gains from efficiency initiatives have yet to materialize.

My Game Plan For What Some Call A Fat AI Bubble

I see broadening market leadership beyond AI, with dividend growth and value stocks outperforming tech-heavy indices year-to-date. While AI-driven CapEx and margins have powered recent gains, the sustainability of high rates of change is a key risk for hyperscaler suppliers. I favor selective diversification into undervalued cyclicals, energy, and income stocks to mitigate concentration and margin normalization risks.
