Summary · why it matters

Fox Corporation announced an agreement to acquire Roku for $22 billion in a mix of cash and stock, sending its shares down 17% in the next trading session. The TCW Relative Value Mid Cap Fund disclosed the reaction in its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, noting that investors were concerned about the large size of the deal, debt financing, and potential for equity dilution. Fox, Primoris, and Venture Global were the weakest performers in the fund's portfolio during the quarter. Fox closed at $62.65 on September 30, 2026, with a $26.42 billion market capitalization, and has posted a roughly 14.26% year-to-date pullback within a 52-week range of $48.34 to $76.39. The company is also facing regulatory scrutiny as the Department of Justice deepens its review of the proposed Roku acquisition.
