Home Depot made a buyout bid for buildings-products distributor GMS, the WSJ reported, a year after it bought SRS Distribution for over $18 billion.

You’ve heard of Home Depot. But have you heard of QXO, a relatively new company in the building supplies industry? Probably not. That could soon change. There’s a chance that QXO may go toe to toe with the mighty home improvement retailer in a bidding war for materials distributor GMS.

The Wall Street Journal on Thursday reported that Home Depot ( HD ), the home-improvement giant, has made an offer to acquire GMS ( GMS ), a building-products distribution company. The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, did not specify a price; Visible Alpha lists the market capitalization of GMS at around $3.1 billion.
