  "account": "Oura, the maker of smart rings, plans to raise up to $2.2 billion in its U.S. IPO, potentially valuing the company at $15.6 billion on a fully diluted basis. The company will offer 50 million shares priced between $40 and $44 each, with existing shareholders selling another 36.5 million. Underwriters have the option to purchase an additional 7.5 million shares over a 30-day period. The IPO, expected to price on September 29, would list the company on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker \"OURA.\" At the top of the proposed range, Oura would have a market value of $14.1 billion, while its fully diluted valuation would be $15 billion. The IPO is seen as a test of whether public investors view Oura as more than a hardware company, given its increasing reliance on recurring membership revenue tied to health and wellness data. The company has sold approximately 3.6 million rings in the 12 months ended June 30, and revenue reached $1.21 billion during the first nine months of the year, up 74% from the previous year. Oura expects to have around 5.7 million paid members by the end of fiscal 2026, a 96% year-over-year increase. The membership service, costing $5.99 per month or $69.99 annually, provides access to over 50 health metrics and personalized insights, with membership revenue more than doubling to $240.5 million and carrying an 89% gross margin during the period. Notably, existing shareholders are selling nearly two-thirds of the shares, with Forerunner Ventures, which owns 9.3% of Oura, planning to sell its entire stake. The IPO aims to subject a business built around hardware and recurring subscriptions to investor scrutiny, raising the bar for execution as investors watch whether strong ring sales continue to translate into sustained membership growth and whether the company can expand recurring revenue without slowing demand for the hardware.",
