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.

Strategy approach

Build a momentum strategy for ROKU on the 4-hour (H4) timeframe. Enter long when the price breaks above the 20-period moving average on high volume (volume > 1.5x the 20-period average). Exit on a break below the 50-period moving average or use a 10% trailing stop. Max hold: 20 days.
