$QXO: The $50 Billion Roll-Up Engine in Building Products Distribution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When serial dealmaker Brad Jacobs transformed an obscure software shell into QXO in late 2023, few anticipated how rapidly the vehicle would attempt to rewire North America’s $800 billion building products distribution market. In under three years, QXO deployed a multi-billion-dollar capital war chest to pull off a string of aggressive acquisitions—including Beacon Roofing Supply, Kodiak, and TopBuild—assembling an $18 billion distribution platform virtually from a standing start. The underlying
Axos Financial: The Engine of Digital Banking Efficiency - $AX (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Bank of Internet USA launched on Independence Day in 2000 without a single physical branch, established bankers dismissed it as a dot-com gimmick. Twenty-six years later, the digital pioneer—now operating as Axos Financial—has grown into a $30 billion financial engine by turning its low-overhead structure into a launchpad for high-yield, specialized lending.

Over two decades, IBP survived a near-fatal debt restructuring during
SiTime Corporation: Disrupting the Quartz Empire with Silicon MEMS - $SITM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than eighty years, the digital world has synchronized its calculations to the precise vibrations of microscopic quartz crystals—a quiet, asset-heavy industrial monopoly sitting inside nearly every electronic device on Earth. SiTime Corporation is waging a high-stakes campaign to displace that rock with silicon MEMS technology, betting that the violent acoustic vibration and thermal churn of AI data centers will render legacy quartz obsolete where timing precision matters most. From a ca
Restaurant Brands International: The Capital Allocator's Recipe - $QSR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When 3G Capital bought a tired hamburger chain in 2010 and transformed it into Restaurant Brands International—the $46-billion fast-food empire behind Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs—it executed one of the most profitable buyouts in private equity history. Yet the ruthless cost discipline and asset-light refranchising that fueled its rise ultimately collided with a stark operational reality: a system where someone else owns 95 percent of the stores cannot grow if its operat
