Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is buying home builder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 a share in cash — roughly 24% above where the stock closed on Friday.

## Idea

When a blue-chip name like Berkshire pays a big premium for a homebuilder, it tells the market the entire sector might be undervalued. Other major homebuilders like D.R. Horton and Lennar tend to get bid up as investors speculate they could be the next acquisition targets. This kind of M&A wave usually lifts the whole group within the first week as money rotates in looking for the next deal.
