Berkshire Hathaway Buys Taylor Morrison for $6.8 Billion in Cash

It expands Berkshire’s national site-built homebuilding platform under new chief executive Greg Abel.

Overview

  • Berkshire Hathaway completed the all-cash acquisition of Taylor Morrison on July 24, 2026, paying $72.50 per share and taking the company private.
  • The deal values Taylor Morrison at about $6.8 billion of equity and roughly $8.5 billion including debt, and the purchase price represented about a 24% premium to a late-May market reference price.
  • Taylor Morrison’s NYSE shares were delisted and shareholders received cash consideration as part of the closing.
  • Sheryl Palmer will remain chief executive of Taylor Morrison and will lead the integration of Taylor Morrison’s brands into Berkshire’s Clayton Properties Group to run as a unified site-built homebuilder.
  • Combined with Clayton, the business delivered nearly 23,000 site-built closings in 2025 across 21 states and 52 markets, making it the fourth-largest U.S. homebuilder and raising questions about how greater scale could affect local supply, pricing, and jobs in regional housing markets.
