Fox just announced a deal to buy the popular TV streaming company, Roku, for $22 billion. Roku's stock price is jumping on the news.

## Idea

When a buyout is announced, the target company's stock usually surges to trade just below the offered purchase price. With Fox agreeing to buy Roku for $22 billion, Roku shares are rallying to a four-year high. Traders can attempt to capture the remaining gap between Roku's current trading price and the final buyout price, though there is always a risk the deal could fall through before it officially closes.
