  "account": "Oura, a maker of smart rings, is delaying its initial public offering due to market uncertainty. The company's first annual payment is $205.00 plus GST for one year, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. Oura's IPO had a strong start but slowed in the third quarter due to market concerns, including potential AI slowdown, Federal Reserve rate hikes, and rising bond yields. The ring is used by customers to monitor health metrics like sleep and fitness. The company expects revenue growth of 90% for the fiscal year ending this Wednesday.",
