Oura Hits Pause On IPO While Anthropic’s Prospectus Reveals The Cost Of Its AI Ambitions
Although Oura has postponed its planned offering that could have raised as much as $2.2 billion, Anthropic is still making a move toward the public markets along with AI cloud provider Nscale and other companies lining up potential fourth-quarter listings.
Oura, the smart ring manufacturer, has postponed its initial public offering (IPO) due to "market uncertainty." The company had planned to offer 50 million shares at a price between $40 and $44 each, raising up to $2.2 billion. CEO Tom Hale stated that Oura has the flexibility to choose when to go public. Anthropic, an AI giant, has revealed its IPO prospectus, which shows it earned $4.6 billion in revenue in 2025 but suffered an $8.06 billion operating loss.
The company's net loss amounted to an astounding $42 billion, primarily due to $34 billion in accounting charges from previous financing. Anthropic is expected to list its shares soon, possibly after the November midterm elections, and could raise up to $100 billion through the IPO.
