Oura Health, maker of smart rings that monitor health and sleep, is targeting up to $3 billion in valuation for its US initial public offering, according to sources familiar with the plans.
The Finnish company and its backers are preparing to take the health-tracking wearable maker public as demand for biometric monitoring devices continues to grow.
Oura's smart rings measure heart rate, sleep quality, activity levels, and other health metrics, competing in the broader wearable market dominated by smartwatches and fitness trackers. The company has built a user base interested in detailed health analytics and wellness insights.
The $3 billion target values the company at a significant premium to its previous funding rounds. Oura has attracted backing from prominent venture capital firms and strategic investors betting on the expanding health-tech sector.
The IPO marks another milestone for the consumer health-tech industry, which has seen sustained investment despite broader market volatility. Smart wearables have moved from niche products to mainstream consumer devices, with major tech companies investing heavily in health monitoring capabilities.
Oura's public market debut would give the company capital to expand its product line, invest in research and development, and scale its user acquisition efforts. The company has grown its subscriber base significantly in recent years as consumers increasingly track personal health data.
The exact timing and final terms of the IPO remain subject to market conditions and regulatory approval. Companies often adjust valuations and offering sizes based on investor demand and market circumstances.
Oura competes with other smart ring makers and broader wearable companies seeking to capture the health-conscious consumer market. The company's focus on passive health monitoring—data collection without requiring active user input—has differentiated its approach in the crowded wearables space.
