Oura disclosed a 72% jump in nine‑month revenue, climbing from $697 million to $1.2 billion, in a confidential filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The same filing also cites a target valuation of $16 billion for the company’s planned initial public offering, according to Bloomberg as reported by TechCrunch. The figures reshape the narrative around Oura’s growth and set a new benchmark for consumer‑tech companies seeking public markets.
Revenue surge confirmed by the filing
The SEC filing, filed in May 2026 and made public on September 3, shows Oura’s revenue for the nine‑month period ending 30 June 2026 was $1.2 billion, up from $697 million in the comparable period a year earlier. The filing states the increase represents a 72% year‑on‑year rise. TechCrunch quoted the filing directly: “The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday shows that Oura’s revenue has jumped substantially in the past year. The company went from $697 million in revenue during the nine‑month period that ended June 30 last year to $1.2 billion during the corresponding period this year.”
Because the filing covers a nine‑month window rather than a full fiscal year, the growth rate is not directly comparable with annual figures reported in prior press releases. Nonetheless, the 72% jump signals a rapid acceleration in top‑line performance, especially given that Oura’s revenue in 2024 was $500 million and roughly $1 billion in 2025, according to the same filing.
Membership base and product sales
Alongside revenue, the filing provides a snapshot of the company’s subscription ecosystem. Oura reports roughly five million paid members as of the filing date. The same source notes a weighted‑average 12‑month membership retention rate of about 85%, meaning that roughly 85% of members who sign up in a given month remain subscribed a year later.
Ring sales also featured prominently. The filing states Oura sold approximately 3.6 million rings over the past twelve months. The rings are marketed as an “always‑on health intelligence platform,” a positioning that the filing suggests underpins the subscription revenue stream.
These metrics together paint a picture of a business that is not only expanding its hardware footprint but also deepening recurring revenue through a sizable and sticky subscriber base.
Valuation target and IPO context
Bloomberg, as cited by TechCrunch, reported that Oura is seeking a $16 billion valuation in its upcoming IPO. The confidential filing does not disclose the exact share price range or the number of shares to be offered, but the valuation target alone places Oura among the higher‑valued consumer‑tech IPO candidates in recent years.
For investors, the valuation hinges on whether the revenue trajectory can be sustained and whether the subscription model can continue to generate high‑margin cash flow. The 85% retention figure is a positive signal, but the filing does not break out profitability or cash‑flow metrics for the nine‑month period, leaving a gap in the financial picture.
Oura’s decision to file confidentially—a provision that allows companies to keep valuation details private until the IPO roadshow—suggests a strategic move to test market appetite without revealing the full pricing strategy. The filing’s timing, just weeks after the company disclosed its revenue jump, indicates a deliberate effort to align strong top‑line growth with a valuation narrative.
What remains unknown
- The filing does not disclose the company’s operating expenses, net profit, or cash‑flow status for the nine‑month period.
- The identity of Oura’s chief executive and the current headcount are absent from the filing; Wikidata lists the company as based in Portugal but flags the executive information as unverified.
- The exact share count, pricing range, and underwriters for the IPO have not been made public.
- How the $16 billion valuation compares with peer valuations in the wearable‑tech sector is not quantified in the filing.
These unknowns mean investors will need to wait for a prospectus or roadshow materials before they can fully assess the risk‑reward profile.

Implications for the wearable‑tech market
The disclosed figures suggest Oura is scaling both hardware and subscription revenue faster than many of its peers. If the company can maintain an 85% retention rate, the subscription component could become a high‑margin engine that justifies the $16 billion valuation target.
Analysts will likely compare Oura’s growth to that of other wearable‑tech firms that have gone public, such as Fitbit (now part of Google) and Whoop. While those companies have historically relied on a mix of hardware sales and data services, Oura’s emphasis on a health‑intelligence platform and a relatively modest paid‑member base could position it as a niche, high‑value player.
From an investor standpoint, the key question is whether the nine‑month revenue surge is a one‑off result of accelerated ring sales or a sustainable trend driven by recurring subscriptions. The filing’s lack of profit or cash‑flow data makes that assessment difficult at this stage.
Next steps
Oura is expected to file a prospectus in the coming weeks, which should reveal the share price range, underwriting banks, and more detailed financials. Until then, the market will watch how the valuation target holds up against peer benchmarks and whether the subscription metrics can translate into consistent profitability.
Investors should also keep an eye on regulatory filings for any updates on the confidential IPO process, as well as any statements from Oura’s leadership once the chief executive’s identity is confirmed.
