Fox Corp faces Roku review. Fox Corp stock gains 1.02 percent

Fox Corp (ISIN US35137L2043) was trading at EUR 49.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026, at 1:02 p.m. CEST, up 1.02 percent versus the EUR 48.80 prior close. On September 8, 2026, Fox and Roku received a U.S. Department of Justice Second Request that extends regulatory scrutiny of their proposed transaction, according to StockTitan.
DOJ review stretches the timeline
The request extends the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period until 30 days after Fox and Roku substantially comply, unless the DOJ ends the period earlier or the companies agree to an extension. Fox still expects the two-step merger to close in the first half of calendar 2027, subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals, the September 8 filing said.
The proposed deal was announced at USD 160.00 per Roku share in June, combining USD 96.00 in cash with approximately 0.97 Fox Class A shares. The Second Request therefore adds a quantified 30-day review step to a transaction whose closing remains conditional.
Fiscal 2026 brought sharp growth
Fox's fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2026, with revenue of USD 4.21 billion, up 28.00 percent from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA reached USD 1.20 billion, while adjusted earnings per share rose 41.00 percent to USD 1.79 from USD 1.27, according to Yahoo Finance.
For fiscal 2026, revenue increased 5.00 percent to more than USD 17.00 billion and adjusted EBITDA rose 8.00 percent to USD 3.90 billion. Tubi revenue grew 35.00 percent in the fourth quarter, and the service ended the fiscal year with 110 million monthly active users, giving the Roku strategy an operating growth angle beyond the transaction headline.
Analyst target stays above the quote
MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus and a USD 76.35 average price target on September 29, 2026, based on 11 analyst ratings. That target is a separate U.S. dollar reference, not a conversion of the EUR 49.30 Lang & Schwarz quote, while the DOJ review remains the central execution risk for Fox's Roku plan.
