The latest update is out from Beacon Roofing Supply ( (BECN) ).

On January 27, 2025, Beacon Roofing Supply’s Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights agreement in response to a tender offer by QXO, Inc. The agreement aims to protect Beacon and its stockholders from hostile takeovers by requiring potential acquirers to pay a fair control premium. This rights plan, set to expire on January 26, 2026, aligns with similar strategies used by publicly-held companies and is designed to provide the Board with sufficient time to evaluate QXO’s offer, which they previously rejected as undervalued.
