QXO is in discussions to acquire Beacon Roofing Supply for approximately $11 billion, with a proposed price of $124.35 per share in cash. This follows an earlier bid that Beacon rejected as undervaluing the company. The negotiations have reportedly turned more amicable after QXO increased its offer by 10 cents.
