Tue, 29 Sep 2026 Oura pulls $15bn stock market listing days after announcement

The wearable technology company had been expected to list its shares in the US.
Oura, a company that makes smart rings tracking health metrics, has delayed its initial public offering (IPO) on the US stock market. The IPO was planned to value the company at $15 billion, but due to uncertainty in the IPO market, Oura will postpone its flotation indefinitely. The company cited rising energy costs, military conflicts, global trade tensions, and concerns about inflation as reasons for the delay. This move comes just days after Oura announced plans to raise up to $2.2 billion by offering shares on the Nasdaq stock market index. Oura's CEO Tom Hale stated that an IPO is "just one step in our journey" and that the company has the luxury of choosing its moment.
