Berkshire is buying Taylor Morrison at a 24% premium — grab the deal spread before it closes
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is buying homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash — a 24% premium over Friday's closing price. It's the first big deal under new CEO Greg Abel.
Idea
Berkshire Hathaway is paying $72.50 per share for Taylor Morrison — roughly 24% above where the stock closed on Friday. In deals like this, the target's stock typically jumps toward the offer price but often settles slightly below it because investors discount for the time and risk that the deal might fall through. If you believe Berkshire's cash offer will go through, you can buy Taylor Morrison at a discount to $72.50 and pocket the difference when the deal closes. This is a classic 'buy the target' setup with a clear ceiling price and a deep-pocketed buyer.
