TopBuild Strengthens Market Position With $1B SPI Acquisition
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
TopBuild acquires SPI for $1B, expanding presence in commercial and industrial insulation markets.
The deal adds $700M in revenues and $75M in EBITDA, with $35-$40M in expected synergies within two years.
About 55% of SPI's sales come from recurring maintenance, strengthening TopBuild's non-cyclical revenue base.
TopBuild Corp. (BLD - Free Report) has bolstered its growth trajectory with the $1 billion acquisition of Specialty Products and Insulation (“SPI”).
SPI is widely recognized for its expertise in specialty distribution and fabrication of mechanical insulation solutions serving the commercial, industrial and residential markets across North America. This acquisition enhances TopBuild’s presence in these key sectors and strengthens its non-cyclical revenue base. SPI’s metal building insulation unit was excluded from the acquisition.
Following the news, shares of BLD have gained 10.1% during yesterday’s trading session.
TopBuild’s Financially Accretive Transaction
SPI generated about $700 million in revenues and $75 million in EBITDA in the 12 months that ended June 30, 2025. The transaction depicts 12.4x SPI’s EBITDA, which drops to just 8.3x when factoring in synergies of $35-$40 million expected within two years. Importantly, the deal is immediately accretive to TopBuild’s earnings per share, reflecting the financial strength of the acquisition.
Enhanced Non-Cyclical Revenue Streams
Strategically, the SPI addition enhances TopBuild’s presence in commercial and industrial end markets, which represent nearly 87% of SPI’s sales. Even more critical, about 55% of SPI’s revenues is tied to recurring maintenance and repair, providing a more stable, non-cyclical revenue stream that helps buffer TopBuild against construction downturns. The acquisition also deepens the company’s insulation fabrication capabilities, broadening its ability to serve a fragmented market while unlocking operational efficiencies.
TopBuild’s Inorganic Efforts
As evidenced by its acquisition of SPI, acquisitions are an important part of TopBuild’s growth strategy to supplement organic growth and expand access to additional markets and products.
The company has successfully completed 45 acquisitions since the spin-off in 2015. Earlier this year, BLD's acquisition of Progressive Roofing added roughly $438 million in annual revenues and opened a new platform for growth in the $75 billion commercial roofing market.
Backed by a solid balance sheet, a robust acquisition pipeline and proven integration capabilities, TopBuild is well-positioned to deliver sustained margin expansion and advance into its next phase of enterprise-wide growth.
BLD’s Share Price Performance
BLD’s stock has gained 40.1% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Zacks Building Products - Miscellaneous industry’s 2.6% growth. The company remains well-positioned for sustained long-term growth, supported by recent strategic acquisitions and robust performance in its Specialty Distribution segment, which continues to drive cost efficiencies and margin expansion. However, persistent macroeconomic headwinds and a weak residential market remain a concern.
