GoKawiilOura reportedly targets September IPO at over $16 billion valuation
Smart ring maker Oura is said to be planning a U.S. IPO as soon as next month, aiming to raise up to $3 billion at a valuation exceeding $16 billion, according to Bloomberg. That figure would nearly double the $10.9 billion valuation the company received in its September Series E round, with existing investors expected to sell a significant portion of shares in the offering.

The jump reflects surging demand in the wearables market, where Oura and rival Whoop have both pivoted from niche fitness tools toward broader health tracking, including sleep, hormone, and recovery monitoring. A successful listing at this scale would be one of the largest consumer hardware IPOs in years, though a pending lawsuit over sleep-tracking accuracy claims could complicate investor confidence ahead of the offering.
- Oura may seek up to $3 billion in a U.S. IPO valuing it above $16 billion.
- The valuation nearly doubles its $10.9 billion mark from last September's funding round.
