Berkshire Hathaway to buy U.S. homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $8.5 billion

Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $8.5B in cash ($72.50/share, a 24% premium), with the deal expected to close in H2 2026. The move signals Buffett's conviction in U.S. residential construction as a long-term inflation hedge, and adds a major homebuilder to Berkshire's portfolio alongside its existing real estate services business.
