11:25 AM EDT, 06/15/2026 (MT Newswires) -- All three major US stock indexes were up in late-morning trading Monday, after President Donald Trump said on Sunday that a deal has been signed to end the war between the US and Iran. In company news, Fox (FOX) said Monday it has agreed to acquire Roku (ROKU) in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $22 billion. Under the terms of the deal, Fox will pay $160 per share for Roku, comprised of $96 in cash and 0.9693 shares of Fox stock, the company said. The transaction is expected to close in H1 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, but both boards have unanimously approved the deal, Fox said
at least we had 2021 together

Ah the days of threads where pages would go off without any tangible discussion of the actual business that produces the money. Great memories.
Whats SE doing these days? Another one with multiple threads and discussion and I bet 50% or more of holders from money board couldnt actually describe what they did to make money.

I was at a training class hosted by the FBI about 5 years ago and the brother of the Roku Chief Security Officer was bragging about his brothers $750k comp package

In this case i would think distribution expansion is the real reason. Fox owning Roku allows them to be able to distribute their entire product line to all of the Roku managed devices in all standalone and television chips.
Given that Roku hardware doesn’t need a major overhaul any time soon, they just exponentially expanded their distribution with the main overhead cost being the acquisition cost of Roku.
With this move, they can pull out of other distribution platforms which cuts into their overhead. This move could raise their individual return revenue on sales.

You mean like adding fox sports to already existing Roku stick or Roku TV ? takes like 20 seconds . Thats an awfully high price to pay just to have Fox networks preloaded to a TV or a roku device.

Yep, except now they get paid to have other streaming platforms stay on Roku. That alone will pay for the acquisition in a couple of years.
They went from paying rent to owning the platform and charging rent.
