Episode description

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market, a look at the notable movers:

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Fox (FOX) will acquire Roku for $160 a share in a cash-and-stock deal that values the streaming video platform at an enterprise value of about $22 billion. Fox intends to finance the cash portion of the transaction with about $8.3 billion of new debt as well as cash, according to a separate release. The sharp decline in Fox shares means the stock component of the agreement would be worth less if it holds through the closing of the deal.

- SpaceX (SPCX) shares jumped in their second day of trading, adding to gains following a blockbuster debut that instantly vaulted it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable public companies.The stock climbed as much as 16%, extending Friday’s 19% rally, to add almost $340 billion in market value. The move boosts the company’s market value to more than $2.4 trillion, putting it among the top six largest companies in the world. At its current market capitalization, it’s less than $220 billion away from overtaking Amazon.com Inc., which boasts a nearly $2.7 trillion value.

- TripAdvisor (TRIP) shares soar as much as 14%, the most intraday since Aug. 8, after the online travel-research company agreed to sell restaurant reservation platform TheFork to American Express for $700 million.

Speaker 4

Box Yeah today, And the reaction on Friday was very good. Rocco was up twenty percent on Friday. We're seeing completely different reactions. Rock itself is down just about one percent. But the reaction we're seeing from Fox Fox shares the ticker is Fox a dumbling seventeen percent. Really not catching up on that optimism we're seeing in tech stocks, in

stocks more generally. It's coming off these news that Bloomberg reported on Friday that Fox Corporation has agreed to acquire Rocco in a deal that's valuing it about twenty two billion including debt. We're seeing quite the reaction there. This is not the first such acquisition we're seeing from folks. Of course, we saw two b and to B has been growing really fast for them. They're acquired in twenty twenty. It has about one hundred million subscribers.

It's insane.

Speaker 4

That's what they plan to do. They plan to keep them separate so you can pay for a few more. So and Brocco will be separate. They both have about one hundred million monthly users. But there has been this big move. You know, obviously Netflix is offering cheap tier subscriptions if you're happy to watch the ads, so it's

been getting pretty competitive. It's very interesting that if this deal has happened, this will be the third largest US television slash streaming platform, and it's going to be huge and it means a lot of competition for Netflix and Amazon. So very interesting space, but clearing investors are not too happy when it comes to the Fox stock, and that's actually not too great for the view because you includes Fox stocks as well.

The value added is three hundred and forty billions and the market

cup is two point four billions. That is so part part trillion, the two trillion, that's just a few hundred billions below Amazon. It's just crazy that in the span of two trading days we're getting so close to some of the biggest companies.
