Berkshire Hathaway Acquires Taylor Morrison for $8.5 Billion in All-Cash Deal
Berkshire Hathaway has acquired Taylor Morrison for $8.5 billion in an all-cash deal. The company will pay $72.50 per share to take the homebuilder private. The deal is part of Berkshire Hathaway's efforts to expand its presence in the housing market.
Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to acquire homebuilder TMHC for $8.5 billion in an all-cash deal, paying $72.50 per share to take Taylor Morrison private. The price represents roughly a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison's $58.50 close on May 29, 2026.
The announcement sent TMHC shares surging more than 20% in premarket trading. Berkshire CEO Greg Abel framed the purchase as adding a best-in-class national homebuilder, the country's sixth-largest with more than 350 communities across 21 US markets, and said Berkshire expects over time to unify its site-built homebuilding operations alongside existing holdings such as Clayton Homes.
The deal, one of Berkshire's larger bets on US housing, is expected to close in the second half of 2026 pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, with Taylor Morrison continuing under its current leadership. Investors will watch the regulatory path and how Berkshire integrates the builder into its broader housing platform.
