Roku explores a sale of the company — ride the takeover premium higher
Created
Thesis
When a company officially puts itself up for sale, its stock usually jumps as investors bet on a potential buyout premium. Even if a deal takes time to finalize, the stock often finds a floor because potential acquirers provide a safety net. As talks progress, leaks and rumors can drive the stock higher in anticipation of the final purchase price.
