Berkshire Hathaway to take Taylor Morrison private in roughly $6.8B all-cash deal as shares surge

Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire Taylor Morrison in an all-cash transaction valued at roughly $6.8 billion, with a reported purchase price of $72.50 per share — about a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s $58.50 close — according to multiple reports ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

CryptoBriefing reported that Berkshire deployed $8.5 billion to take Taylor Morrison private and described the move as a strategic shift toward deeper housing-market involvement; other outlets framed the deal as Greg Abel’s first major acquisition since succeeding Warren Buffett as CEO ^{[4] [2] [1]}.

Taylor Morrison shares jumped more than 22% in pre-market trading following the announcement, while Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares were largely unchanged in early trading, per market reports ^{[1] [2]}.

Coverage varied on the reported transaction size and did not uniformly detail a closing timetable; full completion likely depends on customary corporate approvals, though specific timing was not consistently reported across outlets ^{[4] [2] [1]}.
