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

Berkshire Hathaway just announced it's buying home builder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash — a 24% premium to where the stock closed on Friday. Deals like this usually push the stock price up toward the offer price.

Idea

Berkshire Hathaway is paying $72.50 per share in cash for Taylor Morrison, which is 24% above the last closing price. In most announced cash deals, the target stock climbs toward the offer price as the closing date approaches. There's still a gap between where the stock trades now and the offer price — that gap is profit for anyone who buys now and waits. With Berkshire's backing, the deal is very likely to close, making this a relatively low-risk way to capture that difference.
