Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) has agreed to be acquired by Fox Corporation (NASDAQ: FOXA) (NASDAQ: FOX) in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $22 billion in enterprise value. Under the terms, Roku shareholders will receive $160 per share — consisting of $96 in cash and 0.9693 shares of Fox Class A common stock for each Roku share. After closing, existing Fox shareholders are expected to own about 73% of the combined company, with Roku shareholders owning roughly 27%. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2027.

On a pro forma basis, the merged company is expected to become the third-largest player in U.S. television by share of viewing. Roku will continue operating as an open, partner-friendly platform, and Fox content will remain broadly distributed. Roku founder, chairman and CEO Anthony Wood is expected to continue in a role at the combined company and join the Fox board after closing. Fox expects the deal to be accretive to free cash flow per share by the second full year after closing and to generate roughly $400 million in annualized cost synergies. Fox reported $3.601 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026. Roku recently posted first-quarter revenue of $1.248 billion, up 22%, and guided second-quarter revenue to $1.295 billion, above the $1.285 billion Street view.
