Fox Corp (FOXA) is said to be acquiring Roku (ROKU) in a $22 billion deal, a blockbuster combination that would give Fox direct ownership of the leading connected-TV operating system with roughly 90+ million active accounts. Roku reported $4.7B in revenue growing at 15% YoY but with only a 1.9% net margin, while Fox generated $16.3B in revenue at 14.1% net margin — suggesting Fox has the financial muscle but would be taking on a still-unprofitable platform at a substantial premium.

The immediate setup is a classic merger arb: ROKU should gap toward the deal price while FOXA faces an acquirer discount given the steep $22B price tag for a business earning thin margins. Watch for confirmation of deal terms, financing structure, and any regulatory scrutiny given Fox's media concentration — the FTC's posture on media mergers will be the key gating factor.
