Fox buys Roku for $22 billion — ride the streaming mega-merger momentum

Fox just announced a massive $22 billion deal to buy Roku, the popular streaming device company. This will combine Fox's sports and news channels with Roku's huge streaming audience.

Idea

When a buyout is announced, the target company's stock usually jumps immediately to just below the buyout price because the deal is all but guaranteed. But the combined company will be an absolute advertising and streaming powerhouse, which might make other big media companies feel pressure to make their own acquisitions. Even if the buyout goes smoothly, Roku's stock tends to have strong upward momentum in the days following the initial pop as smaller investors catch up to the news.
