RealPeopleGroup/E+ via Getty Images June 1st was a really great day for shareholders of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation ( TMHC ). Shares of the company skyrocketed 22.5% after news broke that the firm had agreed to sell itself to Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ). This is a big transaction that validates what I have been saying about the company for years now. For context, since I last wrote about it in May of this year, in an article in which I called it a ‘strong buy,’ the stock has risen 29.5%. That dwarfs the 2.2% increase that the S&P 500 saw over the same window of time. But that's not all. I have been consistently bullish about the company since January of 2022 . From that time through today, shares are up 141.3%. That's nearly double the 73% rise that the market experienced. My argument has really centered around two things. The first is that the stock is quite cheap, both on an absolute basis and compared to other similar firms.

It seems as though the management team at Berkshire Hathaway understands this all too well. Then again, that shouldn't be a surprise considering the company's history of operating in the housing and building products markets.

For where the market is at the moment, I actually view this as a fine deal for them. The surge in price that they are getting because of the transaction is certainly a win in and of itself. Having said that, if we assume that the market will eventually recover to what it was in the past, then this transaction will have looked quite cheap. So in that respect, it is e...
