Berkshire buys a homebuilder — play the 24% premium pop and sector rally
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway just announced it is buying home builder Taylor Morrison for $72.50 per share in cash, which is a 24% premium to where the stock closed on Friday.
Idea
When a giant like Berkshire Hathaway buys a company, the target's stock usually jumps quickly to match the offer price. There is often a 'sympathy rally' in the rest of the sector too, as investors bet that other homebuilders might become acquisition targets. With a firm cash offer on the table, buying the stock while it remains below the $72.50 price is essentially trying to capture a guaranteed payout, while the broader sector might ride the momentum.
