The Home Depot offer trumps the rival bid for GMS by QXO, a construction-supplies company run by Brad Jacobs that recently purchased Beacon Roofing Supply for $11 billion. Earlier this month, QXO had made an unsolicited offer of about $5 billion, or $95.20 a share, for GMS. Home Depot’s $110-per-share offer is nearly 16% higher than that.

Home Depot has won a bidding war for GMS, striking a deal to buy the building-products distributor for $4.3 billion, or $5.5 billion including debt.
