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 $8.5 billion in enterprise value. Under the terms of the agreement, Berkshire Hathaway will acquire Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash, representing a total equity value of approximately $6.8 billion and a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s closing stock price of $58.50 on May 29, 2026.
The transaction marks a significant milestone for Taylor Morrison, one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, and is expected to provide the company with enhanced financial resources and long-term strategic support as it continues to expand its operations across the country.
Taylor Morrison operates more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states and serves a broad range of homebuyers through its Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brands. The company also develops rental communities through its Yardly brand and provides mortgage, title, escrow, and homeowners insurance services.
Following the completion of the acquisition, Taylor Morrison will continue to operate under its existing management team, including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sheryl Palmer. The company will become privately held, and its shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
Berkshire Hathaway stated that the acquisition aligns with its long-standing commitment to the housing sector through businesses such as Clayton Homes and its building products operations. The company expects to integrate its site-built homebuilding activities into a larger platform designed to expand homeownership opportunities across the United States.
The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Taylor Morrison shareholders and required regulatory clearances.
KEY QUOTES:
“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.”
