Berkshire is buying Taylor Morrison for a 24% premium — grab the merger-arb spread and ride the homebuilder sympathy wave
Berkshire Hathaway is buying homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash — a 24% premium over Friday's closing price. This is Greg Abel's first big acquisition as Berkshire's new CEO.
Idea
Berkshire is paying $72.50 a share for Taylor Morrison, a 24% premium to Friday's close. If the stock hasn't fully reached that price at Monday's open, there's a gap to capture — that's the merger arbitrage spread. Deals like this from Berkshire rarely fall apart, so the risk of the acquisition failing is low. Beyond TMHC itself, when a major player like Berkshire validates the homebuilding sector with a $6.8 billion purchase, rival homebuilders often get a sympathy bump as investors wonder who's next.
