What they keep talking about · 10
The themes that show up deck after deck, and the ones that disappear.
- $50B revenue
- On the opening slide of all three decks. The April '26 deck measures progress against it in pro forma revenue, ~$18.1B, for a year QXO owned none of its three acquisitions in full.
- Double Beacon
- The core earnings promise of both 2025 decks. Absent from April '26, which talks only of the combined company; Beacon's own year under QXO came in at $783M, 16% below the base it was promised on.
- Playbook
- The same "wash, rinse, repeat" slide in all three — buy, fix, generate free cash, buy again. The free-cash step has not happened yet; every deal was paid in new paper.
- Track record
- A full slide in both 2025 decks, with a ">300x" return for investing beside Jacobs; one bullet in the April '26 appendix.
- Repair demand
- Roofing sold as ~80% non-discretionary repair and remodel in 2025; after Kodiak and TopBuild the mix is about half new construction.
- Technology
- One bullet among many in 2025, the title of the synergy slide in April '26. No deck dates a rollout; the July '26 Q&A does — legacy Beacon by end of Q1 '27.
- Ownership
- Jacobs' ~28% in May '25 became "management and board ~36%" on another basis in June '25, and only a heading in April '26.
- Scale
- New in April '26: the lead slide is size — over $18B of revenue, over $2B of adjusted EBITDA, ~$50B of enterprise value — not earnings improvement.
- New
- Apr '26: combined-company revenue and adjusted EBITDA on a full-year basis, and a $7.5B long-term EBITDA goal beside the $50B.
- Quiet
- Beacon's own profile and the ownership percentage stop after 2025. No deck has ever shown a quarter's results, a leverage ratio or free cash flow.

Who’s in charge, who’s selling
read from the filings · 7 Oct 2026Shareholder votes against the board and pay, plus which executives have been selling their own shares.
Tier 1 · worsening
$12.1B of debt and Series C ahead of the common
$9.1B of debt principal and $3.0B of 4.75% Series C at the 1 Jul '26 closing, with Jacobs' own $1.0B 9% preferred senior to all of it. Beacon, Kodiak and TopBuild were paid in new debt, preferred and stock; the company has never reported a free cash flow figure, and H1 '26 operating cash flow was -$146M.
Tier 1 · stable
The founder's firm can fill 40% of the board
Jacobs Private Equity designated every director and rebuilt every committee in 2024; the charter keeps its right to 40% of the board, and its co-investors must vote for its nominees until 2029. Jacobs is chairman and chief executive with 35.8% as converted.
Tier 2 · live
New auditor in 2025, three accounting chiefs in four months of 2026
Marcum dismissed for Deloitte in March '25. The chief accounting officer resigned 15 Mar '26; an interim served to the TopBuild closing, when TopBuild's own CAO became the second interim. An SEC comment letter was answered on 28 May '26.
Tier 2 · stable
Half the board from XPO, GXO and RXO; bonus on what acquisitions add
The lead independent director is XPO's vice chair, a director is XPO's CEO, others sit on GXO's and RXO's boards. The 2025 bonus paid 50% on adjusted EBITDA and 50% on revenue, both of which every deal increases.
Tier 3 · stable
No calls, no results deck
QXO answers investors in company-written Q&As; nobody gets a follow-up. Say on pay drew 14.2% against in 2025 and 2.4% in 2026.
Where shareholders voted no
At each annual meeting shareholders vote on who sits on the board, what the executives are paid and whether the company may create more shares. These are the votes that drew the most "no"s at the last two meetings: the shares voted against (or withheld) each year, then what share of all votes cast that was. Under each one, what the vote was about and what a no means.
| 2025 | 2026 | Share 2026 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Say on payExecutive pay. Shareholders say whether they accept what the top executives were paid. The vote is advisory: the board can ignore it, but a large no is a public rebuke and boards usually change the pay plan after one. | 68.4M | 17.1M | 2.4% |
| Colucci (nominating chair)A board seat. Shareholders vote to keep this person on the board, the group that hires, pays and can fire the CEO. A no, or a withheld vote, says they want this director out, often because of the committee they sit on or a decision they signed off. | 0.9M | 7.6M | 1.1% |
| Kushner (left 1 Jul '26)A board seat. | 3.1M | 6.3M | 0.9% |
| Jacobs (chairman and CEO)A board seat. | 2.3M | 5.1M | 0.7% |
| Landry (lead independent)A board seat. | 1.4M | 3.3M | 0.5% |
| Harik (XPO CEO)A board seat. | 0.1M | 3.1M | 0.4% |
| Ratify DeloitteThe auditor. Keeping the outside accounting firm that checks the company's books. This almost always passes; a sizeable no means shareholders doubt the audit or think the firm has been in place too long. | 0.1M | 1.2M | 0.2% |
