Berkshire Hathaway is a Privately Owned multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, US. Founded in 1839, the company operates with approximately 30 employees. While its main product is Real Estate, its core commercial activities broadly encompass property and casualty insurance, freight rail transportation, utility and energy provision, manufacturing, and retail. The enterprise traces its origins to a textile manufacturing firm founded in Valley Falls, Rhode Island, before transitioning into its current corporate structure after Warren Buffett assumed control in 1965. Berkshire Hathaway wholly owns numerous major subsidiaries, including GEICO, BNSF Railway, Duracell, and Dairy Queen, whilst simultaneously managing an investment portfolio that includes substantial minority equity stakes in publicly traded corporations such as Apple, Bank of America, and The Coca-Cola Company.
Raymond James downgraded Taylor Morrison (TMHC) to Market Perform from Outperform on June 26, 2026.

Separately on June 26, Warren Buffett recounted in 2003 that he agreed to acquire Clayton Homes, one of the largest manufactured housing companies, for $1.7 billion over the phone without meeting its management.
