On this episode of Stock Movers with Alexis Christoforous:

- Shares of Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (TMHC) soared in premarket trading after Berkshire Hathaway said it will acquire the homebuilder in an all-cash deal worth about $6.8 billion. It marks the first major purchase under chief executive Greg Abel and a vote of confidence in the US housing market. The offer of $72.50 per common share represents a 24% premium to the home builder’s latest closing price on Friday. It’s the largest deal since Berkshire bought Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s petrochemical business in January.
- Shares of MGM Resorts International (MGM) rallied ahead of the US market open after the New York Times’ DealBook reported that Barry Diller’s People Inc. is preparing an offer to buy its unowned portion of the casino giant at an $18 billion valuation. The bid marks the second major acquisition in the gaming sector in as many weeks, after Fertitta Entertainment acquired Caesars Entertainment last week in an all-cash transaction valued at about $17.6 billion.
- Shares of IBM (IBM) jumped in the early session after a video of President Trump praising the company’s CEO and discussing the stock at a December event recirculated on social media over the weekend. In the clip, Trump says IBM CEO Arvind Krishna had “taken the stock from a rather low price to a very nice price.” Dozens of accounts, including Polymarket Money, posted video of the comments on the social media site X.
