Overview
- A definitive all-cash agreement announced May 31 has Berkshire paying $72.50 per share for Taylor Morrison, valuing the deal at about $6.8 billion in equity and roughly $8.5 billion including debt.
- The companies expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2026 subject to Taylor Morrison shareholder approval and customary regulatory clearances.
- Taylor Morrison will be taken private and delisted from the New York Stock Exchange while its current management team, including CEO Sheryl Palmer, will remain in place after closing.
- The acquisition expands Berkshire's footprint into national site-built homebuilding to complement holdings such as Clayton Homes and uses under 2% of the company’s roughly $380–$400 billion cash and liquid securities position.
- The deal could accelerate consolidation and scale in U.S. homebuilding, offering Taylor Morrison stronger balance-sheet backing and prompting close attention from competitors, lenders, and regulators as the companies seek integration opportunities.
