Fox announced its intention to acquire Roku, which the market views as value-destructive M&A. FOXA cratered ~25% in one week to $52.23, blowing through the $63.50 stop loss by over $11. Price is now below all three EMAs, RSI is deeply oversold at 27.2, and short interest has surged to 16.1%. This trade is busted — the original thesis no longer applies.

Price ($52.23) is below all EMAs, RSI is deeply oversold at 27.2, MACD is deeply negative, and short interest has surged to 16.1%. The original post-earnings drift setup is invalidated.

Structure shattered. Price ($52.23) is below all three EMAs (EMA20 $61.56, EMA50 $62.79, EMA200 $61.42). RSI at 27.2 is deeply oversold but in a falling knife context — not a buy signal. MACD at -2.46 is deeply negative with a bearish signal crossover. The Fox-Roku acquisition news caused a structural breakdown, not a technical pullback. Finviz· live
Fox-Roku acquisition has destroyed the thesis. Stop blown by $11+, price below all EMAs, short interest at 16.1%. M&A integration risk is ongoing and unquantifiable. Sell/avoid. Yahoo Finance· live
The original entry at $67.50 with stop at $63.50 has been invalidated. Spot price $52.23 is $11.27 below the stop loss (17.7% below stop). No new entry is recommended while the Fox-Roku acquisition overhang persists. Finviz· live
The original thesis — deep value at 9x PE with persistent earnings beats — was destroyed by Fox's announcement to acquire Roku. The market views this as value-destructive M&A: overpaying for a struggling streaming platform with uncertain synergies. The 25% price collapse reflects the market repricing Fox's capital allocation discipline. PEG ratio of 23.0 now shows no growth justification at this price.
