Berkshire Hathaway to acquire Taylor Morrison for $8.5 billion
Berkshire Hathaway will acquire Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash, valuing the homebuilder at about $6.8 billion in equity value and $8.5 billion in enterprise value. The offer represents a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s May 29, 2026 closing price of $58.50.
Taylor Morrison, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, operates more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states. The company builds homes under the Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brands, develops rental communities under the Yardly brand, and offers mortgage, title, escrow, and homeowners insurance services through Taylor Morrison Insurance Services.
The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, pending shareholder and regulatory approval. After closing, Taylor Morrison will become a private company and will no longer trade on the NYSE.
“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.” – Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Berkshire is acquiring a best-in-class national homebuilder, led by an exceptional team and backed by a trusted reputation for customer experience. We are excited to welcome Taylor Morrison into Berkshire’s portfolio, reflecting our long-standing commitment to housing, exemplified by Clayton Homes and our other building products businesses. Over time, we expect to unify our site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform enabling us to deliver the dream of homeownership to more Americans.” – Greg Abel, Berkshire Hathaway’s Chief Executive Officer.
