Oura shelves its launch-week Nasdaq IPO with a 90% growth forecast in hand

Oura postponed its Nasdaq IPO in the week it was slated to list, while reporting a profit and projecting 90% revenue growth for fiscal 2026. Bloomberg ties a run of delayed deals to a market waiting on Anthropic, so the test for Oura is whether it comes back on the same terms after that listing.

Oura delays its $2.2bn IPO as shares reportedly head for the low end of its range

Oura postponed its $2.2bn Nasdaq IPO on pricing day after its shares reportedly looked set to sell at the bottom of their $40-to-$44 range. Even $40 a share would have valued the profitable ring maker near $14.2bn, above its 2025 private round, so the dispute is over how far above.
