Oura is reportedly eyeing a September IPO that could value it at more than $16B
The smart ring maker plans to raise up to $3 billion, and existing shareholders are expected to sell a large portion of the shares.
- On Monday, Bloomberg reported that Oura, the Finland-based smart ring maker, plans to raise up to $3 billion in a United States IPO next month, targeting a valuation exceeding $16 billion.
- The $16 billion valuation marks a sharp increase from the $10.9 billion Oura reached last September, driven by growth in sleep and recovery tracking that has taken market share from the Apple Watch.
- Competition has intensified as Galaxy Ring entered the market and Whoop, valued at $10.1 billion, signaled IPO ambitions; Oura's backers include Fidelity, ICONIQ, Whale Rock, Atreides, Dexcom, and Coatue.
- A significant portion of the offering involves existing shareholders selling stock, making this IPO partly a liquidity event for early backers; the company has not yet officially confirmed the listing.
- Oura continues defending its market position by suing rival ring maker Ultrahuman, while investors assess how the company balances wellness insights with potential clinical claims—a critical factor for valuation sustainability.
