Berkshire Hathaway is agreeing to purchase U.S. homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home Corp. in an all-cash transaction valued at about $6.8 billion, according to multiple outlets citing the companies’ announcement. The deal includes an offer price of $72.50 per common share. Sources state this represents roughly a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s most recent closing price referenced in the reporting. Several reports describe the transaction as one of Berkshire’s first major post-Warren Buffett acquisitions, following the start of 2026 when Greg Abel takes over as chief executive. Buffett remains chairman. Bloomberg reports that the purchase is the first major deal under Abel’s leadership. While a PR Newswire release frames the consideration as about $8.5 billion, other outlets and Bloomberg describe the deal value as approximately $6.8 billion, indicating different ways of presenting equity value versus broader transaction value. The acquisition expands Berkshire’s involvement in housing and adds Taylor Morrison’s operations and business footprint to Berkshire’s portfolio.
