Oura said on Sept 29 it is putting off its Nasdaq debut. The company had planned to sell 50 million shares at $40‑$44 each, which would have raised up to $2.2 billion. It cited “market uncertainty” despite reporting strong investor interest. The delay comes just weeks after the company launched its filing on Sept 21. Oura did not set a new date but said it will choose a better moment for the offering.

## The facts

- Planned offering: 50 million shares at $40‑$44 per share
- Potential proceeds: up to $2.2 billion

## Why it matters
