While the company posted $635 million in revenue over the last twelve months, InvestingPro data reveals several additional key metrics and insights available to subscribers, including detailed analysis of the company’s acquisition potential.
O’Leary brings four decades of executive leadership experience, with expertise in building products and industrial manufacturing. He currently serves on the board of Builders FirstSource, Inc. and previously was chairman of BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. before its 2021 merger with Builders FirstSource. He also served as chairman and CEO of Kaydon Corporation, a manufacturer of engineered industrial products.
