Berkshire scoops up a homebuilder at a big premium — ride the sympathy wave in D.R. Horton and Lennar

Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's company, just announced it's buying homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $6.8 billion in cash, paying a 24% premium above Friday's closing price.

Idea

When a legendary investor like Warren Buffett makes a big bet on a sector, other stocks in that space often get bid up by investors hoping the sector is the next acquisition target. Taylor Morrison is being bought at a 24% premium, which suddenly makes other homebuilders look cheap by comparison. Companies like D.R. Horton, Lennar, and NVR are the largest publicly traded homebuilders and could attract sympathy buying as the market re-rates the entire group. The acquisition also signals that one of the smartest investors sees lasting value in housing.
