Berkshire Hathaway to Acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corporation for $8.5 Billion
The all-cash deal gives Berkshire a larger national housing platform and keeps Taylor Morrison’s existing management team in place after closing.
- On Sunday, May 31, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced it will acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corporation in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $6.8 billion in equity, with total enterprise value of approximately $8.5 billion.
- The acquisition adds Taylor Morrison, which operates more than 350 communities across 12 states, to Berkshire's housing portfolio alongside Clayton Homes, a major manufacturer of factory-built homes.
- Shareholders will receive $72.50 per share, representing a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison's closing price of $58.50 on Friday, May 29. Chief Executive Officer Sheryl Palmer will remain in her role following the acquisition.
- Chief Executive Officer Greg Abel stated Berkshire expects to "unify our site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform" over time, departing from its traditional strategy of letting acquisitions operate independently.
- This is Abel's first multibillion-dollar acquisition since taking over Berkshire Hathaway earlier this year. Both parties expect the deal to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
