QXO posts preliminary Q3 2026 results showing 79% sales growth and a narrower GAAP loss

QXO reported preliminary third‑quarter 2026 net sales of about $4.90 billion, a 79% year‑over‑year increase. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $123 million, better than the $139 million loss a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $557 million. The results reflect contributions from the Kodiak Building Partners and TopBuild acquisitions made earlier in 2026, and the stock jumped after CEO Brad Jacobs announced a new $1 billion venture while remaining CEO.

The stronger‑than‑expected revenue and narrowing loss suggest the recent acquisitions are accelerating growth, which may support higher valuations. The share price rose 16.7% on the news, indicating immediate investor enthusiasm.
