QXO shares rated Overweight at Wells Fargo, targeting 27% potential upside

Wells Fargo initiated coverage on building products distributor QXO, Inc. with an Overweight rating. The bank established a price target of $18.00.

This valuation suggests a potential 27% upside from the stock's recent price of $14.13. Analysts cited a favorable risk-to-reward profile following QXO's acquisition of TopBuild Corp.
