What the filing says
Watsco closed the Jackson Supply acquisition in June 2026, adding a market-leading HVAC distributor with approximately $230 million in annualized sales across 25 Sunbelt locations and ~5,000 customers. Q2 2026 revenues grew 2% to $2.1 billion but operating income declined 12% to $238 million (11.3% margin vs. 13.2% prior year) due to gross margin compression of 180 basis points, primarily from normalized OEM pricing in 2026 versus outsized 2025 pricing gains. The company maintains $464 million in cash with zero debt and a debt-free balance sheet.
Why this rating
Jackson Supply ~$230M sales is ~1.5% of Watsco's $15.6B market cap—routine bolt-on. Operating margin compression and flat organic growth offset by strong balance sheet and digital growth (13% e-commerce, 15% OnCallAir GMV). No material trajectory change.
