Roku, the company behind the popular TV streaming devices, is reportedly in talks to sell itself to another company. If a buyout happens, the buyer typically pays a premium price for the stock.

## Idea

When rumors break that a company is exploring a sale, its stock usually jumps immediately as investors bet on a buyout. If a larger tech or media company steps in to buy Roku, they will likely have to pay more than what the stock is currently trading for. Buying the stock now captures that potential buyout premium, though it comes with the risk that the talks could fall apart and the stock drops back down.
