Oura Hits Pause On IPO While Anthropic’s Prospectus Reveals The Cost Of Its AI Ambitions

Oura, the smart ring maker, has postponed its planned initial public offering, citing market uncertainty even as demand remained strong. The company had aimed to price 50 million shares at $40-$44, potentially raising about $2.2 billion, but has not set a new date. Separately, Reuters reported details from Anthropic’s IPO prospectus, painting a stark financial picture: revenue reportedly rose twelvefold to nearly $4.6 billion in 2025, but the company posted an operating loss of $8.06 billion and a substantial $42 billion net loss largely due to prior financing. The prospectus also highlighted significant future cloud and infrastructure obligations. The timing around Anthropic’s listing remains unclear, with speculation about a potential post-election debut and comparisons to OpenAI’s timetable. The piece also mentions SpaceX, Nvidia‑backed Switch, Fidelis, and other potential Q4 IPOs, illustrating a crowded, high-stakes outlook for the 2026/2027 window in AI and related tech.
