Taylor Morrison Home Corporation announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.8 billion. Under the agreement, Berkshire will pay $72.50 per share, representing a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s closing stock price of $58.50 on May 29, 2026.
Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer described the deal as a transformative opportunity for the company, citing Berkshire Hathaway’s financial strength and long-term investment approach as key advantages. Palmer noted that the partnership will support the homebuilder’s continued growth and expansion while preserving its customer-focused culture and operational strengths.
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel said the acquisition reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to the housing sector. He praised Taylor Morrison as a leading national homebuilder and indicated that Berkshire plans to integrate its site-built homebuilding operations into a larger platform aimed at expanding homeownership opportunities across the United States.
Taylor Morrison operates more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states and serves a broad range of buyers through its Taylor Morrison, Esplanade, and Yardly brands. The company also provides mortgage, title, escrow, and insurance services.
Following the completion of the transaction, Taylor Morrison will continue to be led by its current management team, including Palmer, and will become a privately held company. Its shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to shareholder approval, regulatory clearances, and other customary closing conditions.
