Latest source: 10-K, reporting period ended 2026-06-30. Selected reported US-GAAP/USD comparisons. The period and basis of each measure are shown separately; year-to-date cash flow is not a quarterly figure. Missing comparisons are collection gaps, not evidence that a company has no revenue or earnings.
| Measure | Current | Prior year |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from customer contracts ↗Full year: 2025-07-01–2026-06-30; prior 2024-07-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Excludes assessed tax; this concept may exclude other company revenue. | $17,126m | $16,300m |
| Operating cash flow ↗Full year: 2025-07-01–2026-06-30; prior 2024-07-01–2025-06-30Both values reported in the current filing. Operating cash flow is not free cash flow or a standalone solvency assessment; inspect the full statement. | $1,970m | $3,324m |
Comparison caveat: Annual operating cash reflects differences in major sports and election-related advertising receipts and higher sports-programming payments. It is not a simple recurring run-rate comparison.
10-K · latest checked financial statements and discussion ↗3. The investment debate
Latticework interpretation of the reported results—not the stated motives of any investor.
What could support the case
If the Roku Transaction closes, FOX would own Roku as a wholly-owned subsidiary, which may deliver anticipated benefits that depend on successful regulatory clearance and integration.
Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
The merger may be delayed or fail, and termination could trigger large fees and adversely affect FOX's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
What regulatory obstacles could block or reshape the Roku deal?
Starting evidence: Completion depends on antitrust clearance and investment screening approvals, and regulators may impose conditions that delay the merger or reduce its anticipated benefits.
Investigate next: Verify subsequent closing status first, then review stockholder votes, regulatory clearance, imposed conditions and any changes to deal terms.
Read the supporting filing ↗How much management attention and cost does the merger divert?
Starting evidence: The merger could require substantial management time and significant transaction costs that might otherwise support FOX's operations and other opportunities.
Investigate next: Look for disclosed transaction costs, integration plans, and any commentary on operational impacts in upcoming quarterly reports.
Read the supporting filing ↗How does FOX's advertising and distribution mix change if the merger closes?
Starting evidence: FOX's existing revenue comes from distribution fees and advertising, so any acquisition could change the mix of these sources and their exposure.
Investigate next: Compare Roku's revenue sources in its own filings with FOX's mix, and check how management describes expected strategic fit.
