Berkshire Hathaway has announced it will acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home in a $6.8 billion deal.
The acquisition represents one of the initial major strategic moves under Warren Buffett’s successor, Greg Abel, who became CEO at the beginning of 2026.
The company announced it will pay $72.50 per share in cash, representing a 24% premium over the homebuilder’s closing price on May 29, and values the company at approximately $8.5 billion, including debt.
Greg Abel, Berkshire Hathaway’s Chief Executive Officer, told investors, “Berkshire is acquiring a best-in-class national homebuilder, led by an exceptional team and backed by a trusted reputation for customer experience. We are excited to welcome Taylor Morrison into Berkshire’s portfolio, reflecting our long-standing commitment to housing, exemplified by Clayton Homes and our other building products businesses. Over time, we expect to unify our site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform enabling us to deliver the dream of homeownership to more Americans.”
Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Joining Berkshire Hathaway is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to propel Taylor Morrison into its next, and most exciting, chapter, supported by Berkshire’s unmatched capital strength and long-term investment philosophy. This transaction is a testament to the value of Taylor Morrison’s talented team members, trusted brand, community-minded development approach, and diversified portfolio. Over the last 13 years as a public company, we built a track record of strategic growth—expanding our geographic footprint, integrating acquisitions with discipline, and deepening our competitive strengths across procurement, brand, and customer experience. Berkshire Hathaway’s long-term orientation is uniquely well-suited to the multi-year investment cycle of homebuilding, and this combination will allow us to scale the Taylor Morrison platform in ways that would not be possible as a standalone company. I am deeply grateful to our stockholders for the confidence they have placed in Taylor Morrison over the past 13 years, and I could not be more excited about what this next chapter holds for our dedicated team members and partners who make this company extraordinary every day.”
The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026.
