$QXO To anyone who says Brad Jacobs doesn’t say anything to assure shareholders. On August 27, 2026, Brad Jacobs was on the “Hard Lessons” podcast and said: “TopBuild… (is) an out-of-consensus call, because we were mainly doing distribution of insulation. And now we bought a company that does both distribution and installation. So it was a little bit of a pivot again, and the market hasn't yet fully appreciated how good the deal is. I think it's going to be my best deal yet. I really do…we've got something like a couple hundred thousand customers…I try to tune out like, the short-termism, because I'm trying to build companies like I have in the past that are long-term, durable, world-class companies that are going to be leaders in the market and be sustainable over time. So if you just go by what's in mode at the moment, you're not going to achieve that. You can't build the business long term by the flavor of the day.”
