Roku agrees to be acquired by Fox for $160 per share in cash and stock
Roku entered a merger agreement under which Fox Corporation will acquire Roku in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $160.00 per Roku share, or about $22 billion in enterprise value. Roku stockholders would receive $96.00 in cash and 0.9693 Fox Class A shares per share, and Roku's Class A stock would be delisted from Nasdaq if the deal closes, which is expected in the first half of calendar 2027.
Key points
