An article summarized by CNBC:
Berkshire Hathaway is acquiring homebuilder Taylor Morrison in an all-cash deal worth roughly $8.5 billion, expanding the conglomerate’s presence in the housing market. Berkshire will pay $72.50 per share, a roughly 24% premium over Taylor Morrison’s previous closing price, valuing the company’s equity at about $6.8 billion. The move builds on Berkshire’s long-standing interest in housing, anchored by its ownership of Clayton Homes.
Berkshire CEO Greg Abel said the acquisition will strengthen the company’s footprint in site-built homes and could create opportunities to combine operations over time. Taylor Morrison CEO Sheryl Palmer said Berkshire’s long-term investment approach fits well with the multi-year nature of homebuilding and will give the company greater financial support and room to expand.
Founded in 2013, Taylor Morrison operates across 12 U.S. states and focuses on residential homebuilding and lifestyle communities. After the deal closes, expected in the second half of 2026, Taylor Morrison will remain under its current leadership team but become a privately held company, ending its listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Goldman Sachs and Moelis advised Taylor Morrison on the transaction.
