Upturn Advisory & Investor View for QXO

10/02/2026: QXO (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

QXO, Inc. is a speculative, growth-oriented company currently building a national B2B industrial distribution platform. Under the leadership of veteran CEO Brad Jacobs, the company is executing an aggressive acquisition strategy designed to consolidate a fragmented $800 billion market. The primary investment story rests on the potential for tech-driven operational efficiency to create a leading, scalable distributor. Key risks include the high execution pressure inherent in roll-up strategies, integration complexity, and cyclical construction industry demand. This stock is best suited for growth investors comfortable with significant volatility and long-term execution uncertainty; investors should monitor acquisition announcements and early operational margin trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
QXO receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
QXO has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong revenue growth (+11930.7%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-1099.0%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.7%), weak profitability (net margin -4.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
QXO's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 25.2%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is QXO's strongest growth driver at +11930.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+116.1%, strong) is also strong, while earnings growth (-1099.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 89.4% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.22%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Amvescap Plc. 4.64%
Baillie Gifford & Co Limited. 4.61%
BlackRock Inc 4.49%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
QXO generates approximately $168 of gross profit, $-8 of operating income, and $27 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 17.12%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
QXO has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
