Smart ring maker Oura postpones IPO due to market 'uncertainty'
The smart-ring maker said orders were about four times the shares available, but it chose to wait for steadier market conditions.
- On Tuesday, Oura Inc. announced it is postponing its planned Nasdaq IPO, citing uncertainty in the market for first-time offerings despite strong investor demand for the offering.
- Concerns over the Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes, the AI trade, and geopolitical turmoil have cooled the US IPO environment, with nuclear services company Holtec suspending its planned offering earlier this month.
- Despite the delay, Oura drew four times the available orders for its 50 million shares marketed at $40 to $44, a deal that would have raised $2.2 billion at a $15.62 billion valuation.
- The Oura Ring 5 launch brought paid memberships to 5.7 million, with CEO Tom Hale saying the company has "the luxury of choosing our moment" to deliver an extraordinary IPO.
- Finland-Based Oura reported profitability and forecasts 90% revenue growth in fiscal 2026, positioning the company to wait for better market conditions after reaching an $11 billion valuation last year.
