## Resource

Berkshire Hathaway’s bold $8.5 billion all-cash bid for Taylor Morrison Home—$72.50 per share—signals massive confidence in the housing market, marking their largest acquisition since snapping up Occidental’s petrochemical assets. The deal, expected to close by late 2026 if approved by regulators and shareholders, will take Taylor Morrison private, sending its stock up 22%—a rare spike for a company that’s only seen seven moves over 5% in the past year. Amid rising rates and construction hurdles, the housing sector’s confidence index hit a multi-month low, yet Taylor Morrison’s shares have surged 21% this year. A $1,000 investment five years ago? Now worth nearly $2,400. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
