DOJ review shapes today
Regulatory scrutiny of Fox Corp.'s planned USD 22 billion acquisition of Roku remains the key driver heading into today's session. As Ad-hoc-news highlighted on September 9, 2026, the Department of Justice issued a second request in its antitrust review of the planned Roku merger, extending the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and reinforcing uncertainty around the transaction's timing. In a regulatory filing, Fox Corporation disclosed that completion of the Roku merger remains subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and other customary closing conditions, according to TipRanks. With no specific earnings or shareholder events flagged for today in recent disclosures, attention today centers on further signals from regulators and any market commentary on the merger review against a backdrop of recent weakness in the S&P 500 and elevated oil prices reported by Kelo.
