[a_to_b] Berkshire Hathaway has a planned $6.8 billion acquisition of Taylor Morrison Home Corp (NVR is not the target, but the text mentions Taylor Morrison Home Corp; however, since Taylor Morrison Home Corp is not listed with a ticker in text and is often private/different entity, and NVR is the closest major peer, but the text specifically names Taylor Morrison Home Corp which is not NVR.
