Fox just announced a $22 billion deal to buy Roku, creating a massive streaming TV company. But Fox's stock dropped on the news, even though analysts think it's a smart move.

## Idea

When a company announces a big acquisition, its stock often drops as investors worry about the cost and risk of the deal. However, Wall Street analysts still believe this is a good move for Fox's future. Because the stock fell sharply on short-term panic rather than long-term fundamental flaws, it often bounces back as cooler heads prevail. We want to buy Fox shares while they're temporarily depressed, expecting them to recover as the market realizes the merger makes strategic sense.
