Fox Corp. (ISIN US35137L2043) stock was last at USD 55.89 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.77 percent for the session. The immediate issue is the pending Roku transaction: Yahoo Finance reported on September 30, 2026 that the Department of Justice had issued a second request for information and that shareholders are scheduled to vote on October 14, 2026.

Roku vote raises the deal stakes

The transaction would combine USD 96.00 in cash with 0.9693 Fox Class A shares for each Roku share, according to Yahoo Finance. The same report said Fox still expects the deal to close in the first half of 2027, while the second request extends the antitrust review timeline.

The shareholder vote gives the market a dated checkpoint. Fox Class B holders must approve the share issuance, and the cash portion of the offer would be funded with debt and cash on hand, making regulatory timing and financing structure material to the stock story.

Quarterly beat supports operating case

Fox's latest reported quarter delivered adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.79 against USD 1.44 consensus, while revenue reached USD 4.21 billion versus USD 3.64 billion expected. MarketBeat reported on September 29, 2026 that quarterly revenue was up 28.1 percent year over year.

That operating comparison matters because the Roku transaction adds strategic ambition to a business that has already produced a measurable earnings beat. It also leaves investors weighing stronger recent results against the execution demands of a large streaming acquisition.

Analyst targets remain above the price

MarketBeat reported on September 29, 2026 that 19 brokerages assigned Fox a Hold consensus, with 10 Buy, 8 Hold and 1 Sell rating and an average 12-month target of USD 76.35. That target lies 36.6 percent above the USD 55.89 price on October 2, 2026.

A separate analyst action was more measured: MarketScreener reported on September 23, 2026 that MoffettNathanson raised its target from USD 65.00 to USD 70.00 while retaining a Neutral rating.

Fox Corp. stock holds a wide range

Fox Corp. stock was last at USD 55.89 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with a market capitalization of USD 24.5 billion and a 52-week range of USD 44.08 to USD 68.18. The price stood 18.0 percent below the 52-week high, keeping the Roku vote and regulatory review as the next concrete tests for the shares.
