Berkshire Hathaway is on the hunt. The Omaha-based conglomerate agreed to acquire Taylor Morrison Home in a deal worth $6.8 billion.
Berkshire will pay $72.50 per share in cash, reflecting a 24% premium over where shares ended last week. As CNBC’s Yun Li notes, the acquisition marks one of the first significant deals under new CEO Greg Abel and further integrates the firm in the real estate industry. Shares of Taylor Morrison are up roughly 22% in premarket trading.
To be sure, the deal comes at a less-than-ideal moment for investors. Berkshire’s B shares are now underperforming the S&P 500 by their largest margin so far this year.
The acquisition marks one of the first major strategic deals under Warren Buffett's successor Greg Abel, who took over as CEO in the beginning of 2026.
