RBC Capital analyst Mike Dahl downgraded Taylor Morrison Home (NYSE: TMHC) from Outperform to Sector Perform with a price target of $72.50.

The analyst comments: “We are downgrading TMHC to Sector Perform given our belief in a high probability of deal closure (TMHC stock closed today at $71.55, just a ~1% discount to deal price) as we see the probability of another bidder as unlikely. See our earlier note for our initial thoughts on the deal, views on a combined Clayton/TMHC, and broader thoughts on implications for the space. We see the deal as a solid outcome for TMHC shareholders, while the 'sprint for scale' amongst small-to-mid-sized builders is likely to continue, potentially providing more of a floor for SMID cap builder multiples.”
