Netflix is reportedly in talks to buy Lionsgate, and Lionsgate's stock price is already jumping on the news.

## Idea

When a buyout rumor hits, the target company's stock usually surges to close the gap between its current price and the rumored buyout price. Even if the exact purchase price hasn't been announced, traders are bidding up Lionsgate expecting a premium. As long as the news cycle continues to validate the takeover chatter, there is room for the stock to climb higher as the market prices in the potential deal.
