Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Purchases Homebuilder for $8.5B

Warren Buffett’s investment giant announced Sunday it will purchase Taylor Morrison Home Corporation through an all-cash transaction worth approximately $8.5 billion, according to a joint statement from both companies.

The deal structure calls for Berkshire Hathaway to pay $72.50 in cash for each share of common stock, putting Taylor Morrison’s total equity value at roughly $6.8 billion. This purchase price gives shareholders a 24% boost compared to Friday’s final trading price of $58.50.

Once the transaction is finalized, Taylor Morrison will transition to private ownership while maintaining its current leadership structure, with Chief Executive Sheryl Palmer remaining at the helm. The company’s stock will be removed from New York Stock Exchange trading when the deal concludes.

Both organizations anticipate completing the purchase during the latter portion of 2026. Goldman Sachs and Moelis provided financial guidance to Taylor Morrison throughout the transaction process.
