QXO to Acquire Kodiak Building Partners for $2.25 Billion

Paul, Weiss is advising QXO, Inc., a leading distributor of building products in North America, in its approximately $2.25 billion cash-and-stock acquisition of Kodiak Building Partners, a U.S. distributor of essential building products, from Court Square Capital Partners. The integration of Kodiak’s structural and exterior construction product offerings with QXO’s existing range will better position QXO to grow both market share and wallet share with large homebuilders. The deal is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
 
The Paul, Weiss team is led by corporate partners Nickolas Bogdanovich, David Huntington and Scott Barshay, and includes partners David Sobel and David Hong; executive compensation partner Christopher Gonnella; tax partner Scott Sontag and counsel Alyssa Wolpin; antitrust partner Yuni Sobel; environmental counsel William O'Brien; and litigation counsel Audrey Paquet.
