Fox buys Roku for $22B as streaming wars heat up — play the takeover premium

Fox just announced a deal to buy the popular streaming device maker Roku for $22 billion. Roku's stock is soaring on the news.

Idea

When one company agrees to buy another, the target company's stock usually rockets up to just below the buyout price. However, the stock often trades at a slight discount to the final deal price because there's a small chance regulators might block the merger or the financing falls through. With Roku trading at a four-year high, there is still a small gap between today's price and the actual buyout value. Investors can buy Roku now and essentially collect that gap as free money if the deal closes successfully over the coming months.
