Fox just agreed to buy Roku, the popular TV streaming device company, for $22 billion. Roku's stock price is already soaring to a four-year high on the news.

## Idea

When a big company buys another, the buyer's stock sometimes dips initially as investors worry about the massive cost, but often rebounds if the market decides the purchase makes strategic sense. Fox is buying Roku to aggressively push into digital streaming, which is a smart pivot away from traditional cable TV. As the deal progresses and Fox shows how Roku will boost their digital ad revenue, their stock price has room to climb.
