Oura IPO draws four times the orders on offer

Nate Gregory
Published Sep 26, 2026
Share:
Summary:
  • Oura Inc. is marketing 50 million shares at $40 to $44, targeting up to $2.2 billion
  • Orders are roughly four times the shares available, with banks expecting to stop taking bids Monday afternoon
  • At the top end, Oura would be valued at $14.1 billion, or about $15 billion fully diluted; pricing is set for Sept. 29 with a planned Nasdaq Global Select Market listing under OURA

The deal and how big it is

Health and fitness ring maker Oura is pitching 50 million shares, according to SEC filings, with a price range of $40 to $44. Of that, the company plans to sell 13.5 million shares, while existing holders including Forerunner Ventures and Lifeline Ventures intend to sell 36.5 million. At the high end, the sale could raise as much as $2.2 billion. That price would imply a market capitalization of $14.1 billion based on outstanding shares, or roughly $15 billion when including stock options and restricted share units.

Demand, timing, and who's running the show

People familiar with the offering say orders total about four times the amount of stock on offer, and the banks running the deal expect to stop taking investor orders Monday afternoon. The bookrunners listed in Oura's filings are Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Allen & Co., and Jefferies Financial Group Inc. According to an investor presentation, pricing is scheduled for Sept. 29, with OURA slated to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Discussions are still underway, so terms could change. Spokespeople for Oura and for Goldman Sachs offered no comment.

The backdrop and what to watch next

Oura is pushing ahead in a rough patch for new listings. Holtec Nuclear Corp. and CVC Capital Partners-backed Bamboo Insurance Services Inc. recently postponed their IPOs, citing market conditions. After a quiet September for flotations, Bloomberg's numbers show Oura's deal could be the first offering exceeding $1 billion to appear following the July debut of Jersey Mike's Subs Inc. Bloomberg's data indicate Oura's offering could be the earliest deal to top $1 billion after Jersey Mike's Subs Inc. came to market in July.

The Economy Is Booming. So Why Did Stocks and Bonds Fall Together?
By Milena Thomas
  • S&P Global says the US economy is growing at its fastest rate since 2021, with corporate profits up 28.9% in a year, almost four times the historical average.
  • Stocks and bonds fell at the same time, which is not how the two markets normally behave, because Treasury yields above 5% now compete with stocks for investors' money.
  • Jaspreet Singh lays out three ways to invest through a shift like this: always be buying, buy the crash, or follow the money before it hits the headlines.

The 2026 Economic Reset Is Starting: Are We in a Recession, or Is the Pain Still Ahead?
By Nate Gregory
  • The Federal Reserve has flipped from stimulating the economy to fighting inflation with higher interest rates, while the White House still wants growth at almost any cost.
  • The national debt tops $40 trillion, has outgrown the entire U.S. economy, and its interest payments are now the government's fastest-growing expense.
  • Higher rates bring pain for private equity, private credit, and speculative assets, but they open opportunities for investors holding cash, treasuries, and value assets.

Are We in a Recession? Without AI, America Might Already Be in One - and Washington Knows It
By Kalbir Talwar
  • The White House attributes about three quarters of U.S. economic growth to AI, and many believe the economy would already be in a recession without it.
  • Washington has three reasons it cannot let the AI boom slow down: staying the world's superpower, outgrowing $40 trillion in national debt, and protecting a government stock portfolio worth billions.
  • Every market goes through booms and busts, and investors who understand the cycle get to buy the downturn instead of panic-selling with the crowd.

Will Interest Rates Go Down in 2026? Where the Money Moves Either Way
By Kalbir Talwar
  • The Fed is leaning toward higher rates to fight 4% inflation, while the White House and a cracking job market push the other way.
  • If rates rise, money has tended to move toward short-term Treasuries, floating-rate loans, energy, banks and dividend payers.
  • If rates fall, it has tended to move toward gold, silver and Bitcoin, real estate, small caps, the S&P 500 and speculative bets.

How the Federal Reserve Makes Money - and Why It Just Posted Its Biggest Loss Ever
By Kalbir Talwar
  • For 109 years the Federal Reserve created money, lent it to the U.S. government and handed the interest it collected back to Washington - almost $1 trillion in the decade starting in 2011.
  • Pandemic-era lending locked the Fed into earning about 2% on trillions of dollars while it now pays banks around 4%, producing a record loss of hundreds of billions in 2026.
  • The Fed covers its losses by creating money and the government covers its lost revenue by borrowing, and both feed the inflation that eats at the dollars in your account.

Kevin Warsh Just Defied Trump: What the Fed Rate Hike Means for Your Money
By Cierra Seay
  • The Fed raised rates for the first time since 2023 in a unanimous vote led by Kevin Warsh, the chairman President Trump appointed to cut them.
  • Higher rates make the $40 trillion national debt, business loan resets and mortgages more expensive, but they strengthen the dollar and pay investors holding cash.
  • The war with Iran is pushing up oil, grocery and chip prices, another hike is likely in 2026, and recession talk is about to get louder.

Why America Bailed Out the Yen: The Japan Carry Trade, the Dollar and Your Mortgage Rate
By Milena Thomas
  • In July 2026 the US sent money to steady the yen because Japan is the largest foreign owner of US debt, and Washington needs Japan to keep lending.
  • For decades the Japan carry trade let Wall Street borrow yen at essentially 0% and pour it into US stocks, real estate and Treasuries, and rising Japanese rates are shutting that off.
  • A weaker yen means fewer buyers for the dollar and for US debt, which pushes Treasury rates up and drags mortgage, car loan and credit card rates up with them.

Treasury Yields Are Spiking Because Lenders Are Backing Away From U.S. Debt
By Jackson Moreland
  • The U.S. is paying its highest 30-year borrowing rate in about two decades because its biggest lenders, the Fed, foreign governments, and banks, are all pulling back from Treasuries.
  • Every mortgage, car loan, credit card, and business loan is priced off the 10-year Treasury yield, so when Washington pays more to borrow, so do you.
  • With about $40 trillion of debt against a $32 trillion economy, the country either outgrows its debt or slides into a doom loop, and investors need a plan for both.

Fiat Currency Runs on Trust, and the World Just Stopped Trusting the Dollar
By Nate Gregory
  • Gold has overtaken US treasuries as the world's top reserve asset, and central banks are now buying less US debt and more gold.
  • The US dollar is a fiat currency, meaning it's backed by a promise rather than gold, so it loses value when fewer countries want to hold it.
  • Whether the US economy or its national debt grows faster from here decides which assets stand to benefit next.
