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.
