Fox Corporation (ISIN US35137L2043) faces a longer antitrust review for its planned Roku acquisition after the U.S. Department of Justice requested additional information on September 8, 2026. The event adds a regulatory timing issue to a company that reported fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 17.13 billion, up 5.00 percent year over year.
Roku review extends the timeline
According to StockTitan on September 9, 2026, Fox and Roku received a second request from the DOJ under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The request extends the antitrust waiting period until 30 days after both companies substantially comply, unless the DOJ ends the process earlier or the parties agree to another extension.
The same filing summary says Fox and Roku still expect the two-step merger to close in the first half of calendar year 2027, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. The transaction combines USD 96.00 in cash with 0.9693 Fox Class A shares for each Roku share, according to the filing summary.
Revenue grows as profit declines
StockTitan reports that fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA rose 8.00 percent to USD 3.91 billion, while net income declined 25.00 percent to USD 1.73 billion. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders reached USD 2.38 billion, or USD 5.42 per share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
The annual figures show a mixed operating picture. Revenue advanced from USD 16.30 billion in fiscal 2025 to USD 17.13 billion in fiscal 2026, while consolidated net income moved from USD 2.29 billion to USD 1.73 billion over the same periods. Advertising, distribution and streaming investments remain central to the growth profile.
