Berkshire is buying Taylor Morrison at a 24% premium — grab the deal spread before it closes

Berkshire Hathaway — Warren Buffett's company — is buying homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash. That's a 24% premium above where the stock closed on Friday, and it's Berkshire's first major deal under its new CEO.

Idea

When a company like Berkshire Hathaway agrees to buy a stock for $72.50 in cash, the stock price usually jumps close to that number — but it often doesn't get there instantly. That gap between where the stock trades now and the $72.50 offer price is basically free money if the deal goes through, which is very likely given Berkshire's deep pockets and the all-cash structure. Even a 2-3% gap can turn into a solid short-term gain with limited risk, since the buyer is one of the most trusted names in investing.
