Roku (ROKU) Announces Acquisition by Fox Corp for $96 Cash and Shares
Roku says Fox Corp will acquire it for $96 in cash and shares, according to Yahoo Finance. The setup shifts from standalone operating performance to deal terms, shareholder approval and execution risk.
STOCK PHOTO · ZHANG KAIYVRoku announced an acquisition by Fox Corp priced at $96 in cash and shares. The cash-versus-stock mix, the implied transaction value, financing conditions and the expected closing date have not been disclosed.
Roku's FY2025 results show $4.7B of revenue, up 15.2% year over year, with a 43.8% gross margin, a 1.9% net margin and $0.59 of diluted EPS. Those figures provide operating context for Fox's bid, but details on how the offer values Roku relative to its standalone results remain unclear.
The next factual checkpoints are the definitive merger documentation, any required regulatory or shareholder approvals and the terms governing completion. Without a current Roku share price, the cash-and-stock allocation or a dated closing event, the size of any deal spread and the economics for Fox shareholders cannot be determined.
Fox Corp will acquire Roku (ROKU) for $96 in cash and shares, subject to shareholder approval and deal execution.
The immediate consequence is a corporate-action setup rather than a clean operating call: Roku's $4.7B revenue base and 15.2% YoY growth give Fox a substantive platform, but the supplied report does not show the consideration mix or closing conditions needed to value the spread. That missing information is decisive, so the evidence supports a favorable headline read for ROKU without a quantified directional trade.
The setup breaks if the reported transaction is preliminary, the final terms differ from the headline, required approvals fail, or the stock component makes consideration sensitive to Fox's share price.

Price context does not establish that the story caused the move.
The strongest bull case is Fox paying $96 in cash and shares for a Roku business with $4.7B of FY2025 revenue and 15.2% YoY growth.
The bear case is substantial because the supplied report omits the cash-versus-stock mix, closing conditions and timing, leaving no verified deal value or protection against execution risk.
