Fox just agreed to buy Roku for $22 billion to build a massive streaming and television company. Roku's stock is already rallying to a four-year high on the news, as the deal makes them the third-largest player in the TV market.

## Idea

When a massive acquisition like this happens, the company doing the buying (Fox) usually sees its stock break out to the upside as investors anticipate higher growth and a larger audience. By combining Fox's sports, news, and free Tubi service with Roku's 100 million streaming subscribers, they are creating an absolute advertising juggernaut. The CEO noted this will transform their growth profile, which often attracts big institutional money looking to ride the new scale of the combined company. Buying Fox on this breakout allows traders to ride the momentum of a newly transformed media giant.
