3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 22

Summary

  • Oura said Thursday it has confidentially submitted IPO paperwork to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, setting up a potential listing as demand for health-tracking rings accelerates.
  • The company is seeking to capitalize on the broader wearable-device boom, though it has not yet disclosed the number of shares to be sold or a price range.
  • Oura previously said it had sold more than 5.5 million rings and was on track for 5 million paid members, with revenue rising fourfold over two fiscal years.
  • The filing could test investor appetite for new tech offerings after Oura reached an $11 billion valuation in October and as the IPO market shows signs of reopening.
