Oura, the company behind the Oura Ring, is expected to price its U.S. initial public offering during the week of September 28, 2026 and list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker OURA. As of September 24, 2026, the price range is $40 to $44 per share for 50 million shares, which would value Oura at up to about $15.6 billion on a fully diluted basis.
Timing: Oura launched its roadshow on September 21, 2026 and is expected to price the following week. Nasdaq trading normally starts the morning after pricing.
Terms: 50 million shares at $40 to $44. Oura is selling 13.5 million new shares and existing stockholders 36.5 million, for up to $2.2 billion at the top of the range.
Valuation: roughly $12.8 billion to $14.1 billion of market value, or up to about $15.6 billion fully diluted, against about $11 billion in Oura's 2025 private round.
Who gets the money: mostly the selling shareholders, led by Forerunner Ventures, which is selling its entire stake. Oura's own net proceeds, about $532.6 million at the midpoint, are earmarked almost entirely for employee equity taxes.
Trading on MEXC: OURAUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual Futures have traded on MEXC since September 22, 2026. Under MEXC's standard process, the contract converts automatically into a standard stock futures contract once Oura lists.
Oura has not announced its first trading day yet. The company began its roadshow on September 21, 2026, and the deal is
expected to price during the week of September 28, 2026. U.S. IPOs normally price after the market close, and the shares open on the exchange the next trading morning.
The path from first filing to pricing has taken about four months:
2013: Petteri Lahtela, Kari Kivelä and Markku Koskela found Oura in Oulu, Finland.
May 2026: Oura confidentially submits a draft registration statement to the SEC.
September 21, 2026: an
amended S-1 sets the $40 to $44 range, and the roadshow starts.
Week of September 28, 2026: expected pricing, followed by the first trade on Nasdaq under OURA.
The date can still move. SEC review, market conditions and demand during the roadshow all shape the final schedule. Reuters described the deal as a test of investor appetite for consumer technology after a slow start to the fall IPO season, and Samuel Kerr, global head of equity capital markets at Mergermarket,
told Reuters that a strong debut would encourage other issuers while a weak one could suggest sentiment is turning.
Oura is marketing 50 million shares at $40 to $44 each, according to its
launch announcement filed with the SEC. That is $2.2 billion at the top of the range and $2.1 billion at the $42 midpoint. The range is not final. Oura and its underwriters set the actual price at pricing, based on institutional demand.
New shares from Oura: 13.5 million.
Shares from selling stockholders: 36.5 million, or 73% of the deal. Oura receives no proceeds from these shares.
Over-allotment option: selling stockholders intend to give the underwriters 30 days to buy up to 7.5 million additional shares at the IPO price.
Cornerstone interest: Eli Lilly has indicated interest in buying up to $100 million of shares and Dragoneer Investment Group up to $300 million, about 19% of the deal,
Renaissance Capital calculates. Indications of interest are not binding commitments.
Lead bookrunners: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Allen & Company and Jefferies.
Exchange and ticker: Nasdaq Global Select Market, OURA.
Two outcomes are possible at pricing. A heavily oversubscribed book can push the price to the top of the range or above it, sometimes with more shares added. A soft book can push it to the bottom or below. Whichever happens, the final price becomes the reference point for everything after it, including where OURA opens.
At $40 to $44 per share, Oura would have a market value of about $12.8 billion to $14.1 billion based on shares outstanding after the offering, and
up to about $15.6 billion on a fully diluted basis. Against the roughly $11 billion valuation from its 2025 Series E, the top of the range is a step-up of about 42%.
The two numbers answer different questions. Market value multiplies the share price by the shares outstanding after the IPO. Fully diluted value also counts stock options and other awards that can become shares later, so it runs higher. That is why the
$15.62 billion figure Reuters calculated at the top of the range shows up in so many headlines.
A conversion you can reuse: working back from those figures, Oura will have about 320 million shares outstanding after the offering and about 355 million on a fully diluted basis. Every $1 on the share price is therefore worth roughly $320 million of market value, or about $355 million fully diluted. A hypothetical $50 share price would mean about $16.0 billion of market value and about $17.8 billion fully diluted. The same arithmetic works on the OURAUSDT price before listing, with one caveat explained in the MEXC section below.
Rings and members: about 3.6 million rings sold in the 12 months to June 30, and 5.0 million paid members at that date, with 12-month retention of about 85%. Oura
expects about 5.7 million paid members when its fiscal year ends on September 30, 2026.
Profit: net income was $60.8 million for the nine months. The headline net loss of $924.3 million attributable to common stockholders comes from a $985 million deemed dividend, an accounting charge created when Oura bought back preferred shares from early investors for more than their book value,
as The Next Web explains.
Kat Liu, a vice president at IPOX,
told Reuters that the valuation already assumes strong growth continues and that more revenue shifts toward higher-margin recurring membership. That makes the membership line the one to watch. It is about a fifth of revenue today, and it is what lets investors treat a hardware company as a subscription business.
Four investors hold 5% or more of Oura,
according to the filing: entities affiliated with FMR (Fidelity), Forerunner Ventures, Bedford Ridge and Lifeline Ventures. Existing holders are selling 36.5 million of the 50 million IPO shares, and Forerunner, the second-largest shareholder, plans to sell its entire stake of about 9.3%.
That makes the IPO mostly a liquidity event for early backers rather than a fundraise. At the $42 midpoint,
TechCrunch calculates that selling shareholders would receive about $1.53 billion before fees, against about $567 million for Oura. Forerunner's roughly 28.7 million shares make up nearly 80% of what existing holders are selling.
Oura's own share of the money is largely spoken for. The
amended prospectus estimates net proceeds of about $532.6 million at the midpoint, and about $526.4 million of that is earmarked for tax obligations on employee share awards that vest at the IPO, TechCrunch reports.
Tom Hale has been Oura's chief executive since 2022. The company going public is Oura Inc., a U.S. holding company created when each equity interest in Finland-based Oura Health Oy was exchanged one-for-one for Oura Inc. equity, with economic and voting rights unchanged. Oura is headquartered in San Francisco and keeps offices in Oulu and Helsinki.
Before the listing, there is no public Oura share to buy. On MEXC, eligible users can trade OURAUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual Futures, a USDT-margined derivative that tracks Oura's expected share price and gives no ownership. After Oura lists, MEXC's standard process converts the contract into a standard stock futures contract that tracks the Nasdaq price, without closing open positions.
OURAUSDT tracks an expected price per Oura share, so it can be read directly against the $40 to $44 range. A contract price above $44 suggests traders expect OURA to trade above the top of the range once it lists. It does not mean the IPO price has changed, and the gap can close quickly once the final price is announced.
The share-count conversion above turns the contract price into an implied valuation: multiply by about 320 million for market value, or about 355 million for fully diluted value. The caveat is that a Pre-IPO contract is priced from an estimated share count, and MEXC can adjust a contract's notional amount if the company's actual share capital differs from that estimate. It has done so before. MEXC's SpaceX contract was priced on an estimated 11.87 billion shares, and when the prospectus put the figure at 13.08 billion, MEXC
delisted and relisted the contract on June 10, 2026 at the revised count.
Under the process MEXC sets out in its
guide to Pre-IPO and standard stock futures, the Pre-IPO contract converts automatically once the IPO completes. Open positions migrate without liquidation, pending orders stay valid, trading continues through the conversion, and the original Pre-IPO pair goes offline afterwards. The timing and final parameters for OURAUSDT will be in its own conversion announcement.
The position carries over unchanged. Three things underneath it do not:
Price source: the mark price moves from a custom pre-listing index to the live Nasdaq price.
Funding: a fixed daily funding rate becomes a dynamic rate settled every eight hours.
Price limits: bands widen to follow post-IPO volatility, so leverage that felt comfortable before the listing can be too much after it.
Four data points will reset the Oura story from here: the final IPO price, the final deal size, the first trade on Nasdaq and the first results as a public company. Each one changes the valuation math above, and each one moves OURAUSDT before and after the conversion.
Final price against the range: pricing at the top of the range or above it points to strong demand. Pricing at the bottom or below it points to the opposite.
Deal size: whether Oura or its selling stockholders add shares, and whether the underwriters exercise the option on 7.5 million more.
Opening price: the gap between the IPO price and the first trade, and between the last OURAUSDT price and the first Nasdaq print.
Year-end results: Oura's fiscal year ends on September 30, 2026, days after the expected listing. Its first results as a public company will show whether it reached the roughly 5.7 million paid members it expects.
No. As of September 24, 2026, Oura is a private company on its IPO roadshow. It is expected to price the offering during the week of September 28, 2026, after which its shares would begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker OURA.
Oura has applied to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker OURA. On MEXC, the pre-listing contract is OURAUSDT, which is a futures contract rather than the stock itself.
Not on a public exchange. Private Oura shares are generally limited to
accredited investors through the company or secondary marketplaces, and IPO allocations go through the underwriting syndicate and brokers. OURAUSDT on MEXC gives price exposure to Oura before the listing, but no shares, voting rights or dividends.
No. OURAUSDT is a USDT-margined perpetual futures contract on MEXC. It tracks Oura's expected share price, settles in USDT and can be traded long or short with up to 20x leverage. It gives no ownership in Oura Inc., and leveraged positions can be liquidated.
What Is OURA Pre-IPO Futures? compares the contract and the stock side by side.
The offering raises up to $2.2 billion at the top of the $40 to $44 range, but most of it goes to selling shareholders. Oura expects about $532.6 million of net proceeds at the $42 midpoint and has earmarked nearly all of it for tax obligations tied to employee share awards.
Both, in different ways. Oura was founded in Oulu, Finland, in 2013, and its original operating company, Oura Health Oy, is Finnish. The company going public, Oura Inc., is a U.S. holding company, and Oura is headquartered in San Francisco.
Tom Hale is Oura's chief executive. His offer letter, filed with the IPO registration statement, is dated March 8, 2022.
Under MEXC's standard process, the contract converts automatically into a standard stock futures contract, and open positions and pending orders carry over without liquidation. The price source, funding schedule and price limits change after conversion, so review leverage and stop levels on the day. Check MEXC's OURAUSDT conversion announcement for the exact timing.
