The smart ring maker says it is profitable and growing, has 5.7 million paid members, and will wait for a better window after filing an S-1 that projected a roughly $2.2 billion offering.
Oura postponed its planned Nasdaq IPO, citing market uncertainty, though the company says demand was strong.
The company reported 5.7 million paid members and expects 2026 revenue to grow about 90% year over year.
Oura says it is profitable and will continue executing its growth plans, including the recently launched Ring 5 and a broader health platform strategy.
# What happened Oura, the smart ring maker and health-tracking company founded in Finland in 2013, announced it is postponing its planned initial public offering on Nasdaq. The stated reason was "uncertainty in the IPO market," and the company said the decision came despite strong investor demand.
# Where the company stands now Oura filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but the filing has not been declared effective. The company said it remains profitable and that its business has strengthened since beginning the IPO process. It expects to close its 2026 fiscal year with 5.7 million paid members and projects annual revenue growth of about 90% year over year.
Tom Hale, Oura's CEO, said the IPO is "just one step in our journey" and that the company has the luxury of choosing its moment. The company launched the Oura Ring 5 in May and described consumer response to the product as exceptionally strong.
# What the planned IPO looked like
Oura's smart rings continuously track more than 50 health metrics, including heart rate, sleep, daily movement and activity, stress, fertility windows and metabolic health. The company's S-1 also described ambitions to build an AI-powered health platform that extends the business beyond hardware into software-driven preventive health services.
# Market context
# What this means for stakeholders For employees and early investors, Oura's delay preserves the company's option to seek a more favorable market window and to pursue further private growth in the near term. For customers, Oura will continue product development and membership growth—metrics management highlighted in its announcement. For potential public-market investors, the delay reduces near-term access to the offering terms outlined in the S-1 and shifts the timing risk to a later market cycle.
# Next steps cited by the company Oura said it will continue to execute against opportunities ahead and will choose the timing of an IPO when market conditions are more favorable. The S-1 remains filed but not effective, so any future public offering would require updating that filing and securing SEC clearance.
