BMO Capital raised the firm’s price target on Beacon (BECN) to $136 from $125 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company rejected an unsolicited non-binding proposal from QXO (QXO), and Beacon’s operating performance improvements, significantly reduced financial leverage, and a simplified capital structure warrant a higher valuation multiple, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
