The Home Depot just made a $5.5 billion power move. In this video, we break down their completed acquisition of specialty building materials distributor GMS and why it signals a major strategic shift away from DIY consumers and toward professional contractors.
We’ll explain how this deal, done through their SRS's subsidiary, is a direct response to a cooling housing market and high interest rates. More importantly, we’ll show how Home Depot is building a specialized wholesale empire designed to be the one-stop shop for pros, offering everything from drywall and steel framing to seamless digital ordering and job-site delivery.
This isn’t just another corporate acquisition; it’s a glimpse into the future of the construction supply industry and a head-to-head battle with rivals like Lowe's.
