Oura has filed publicly for a Nasdaq listing in the United States and, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, intends to list during September. The Finnish smart ring maker submitted a confidential filing in May. The prospectus arrives with a board reshaped for US public markets, and a Nordic presence now outnumbered on it.

The prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows revenue of $1.21 billion for the nine months ended 30 June 2026, the first three quarters of a fiscal year that ends 30 September, against $697.6 million in the same period a year earlier, a rise of 74%. Full-year FY2025 revenue was $907.9 million, against $406.8 million the year before. The net loss attributable to common shareholders over the same nine months was $924.3 million, compared with $182.8 million a year earlier.

Oura shipped 3.1 million rings in the nine-month period, against 1.8 million a year earlier. Membership revenue reached $240.5 million, up 121%, and paid members doubled to 5 million, the recurring line that will matter most to public-market investors, and the one that turns a hardware company into a subscription business.

The headline loss sits beneath a $985m deemed dividend

Before the deemed dividend attached to preferred shares, Oura's net result for the period was a profit of $60.8 million, against $1.6 million a year earlier. The $924.3 million figure emerges after a $985 million deemed dividend to holders of redeemable convertible preferred shares is deducted. The comparable deemed dividend a year earlier was $184.4 million.

Oura raised more than $1.2 billion privately before this filing. A Fidelity-led round in October 2025 valued the company at $11 billion. The listing could raise up to $3 billion for the company and some of its backers at a valuation exceeding $16 billion, Bloomberg reported on 24 August 2026, a repricing of roughly 45% in under a year. 

The new board adds Robinhood's IPO-era CFO and Wolt's founder

Oura said on 2 September that it will appoint Jason Warnick, Leslie Kilgore, Miki Kuusi and David Sze as directors.

Warnick spent seven years as chief financial officer of Robinhood, where he helped take the company public and through its subsequent life as a listed business. He retired from the role earlier this year and was succeeded by Shiv Verma. Before that he spent nearly two decades at Amazon across finance, investor relations, audit and enterprise risk, and began his career as a CPA at Deloitte & Touche.

Kilgore sits on the boards of Netflix and Pinterest, and has previously served on those of LinkedIn, Medallia and Nextdoor. She was chief marketing officer at Netflix, and held earlier positions at Amazon, Procter & Gamble and Booz Allen Hamilton.

Kuusi co-founded Wolt and led it as chief executive from 2014 until DoorDash acquired the company in 2022. He now oversees DoorDash's international business and serves as chief executive of London-based Deliveroo. 

Sze is a partner at Greylock Partners, where he led investments in Facebook, LinkedIn, Roblox and Pandora. He previously held senior operating roles at Excite and Excite@Home.

The four join Timo Ahopelto, Dennis Durkin, chief executive Tom Hale, Wen Hsieh, Eurie Kim and chairman David Shuman on the board.

"Adding Jason, Leslie, Miki, and David strengthens our board with leaders who know what it takes to build and scale category-defining global businesses," Hale said in the company's statement.

What the appointments say about where Oura's governance now sits

The appointments describe a specific destination. Warnick is a CFO who has already run a listing and the quarterly reporting cycle that follows it. Kilgore brings the consumer-brand seat that US public boards expect. Sze holds an investor seat. None of the three has a Nordic mandate.

That leaves a ten-person board on which Ahopelto and Kuusi are the Nordic voices, at a company founded in Oulu that will report as a US filer under SEC rules rather than the Finnish Corporate Governance Code. For Nordic investors, Oura is on the way to becoming a company you can read about but not vote on in Helsinki, the governance follows the listing venue, and the listing venue is Nasdaq.

Oura is not leaving Finland. The engineers stay, the product stays. What moves is the register, the governance regime and the venue where the company answers for itself. IQM proved that part is a choice, it took both listings. Oura’s prospectus takes one.

Four boards paid their chair €160,000 last year. Konecranes kept it unchanged and fell five places

A year ago, Elisa, Hiab, Kalmar and Konecranes all paid their chair exactly €160,000, putting them joint 14th among Helsinki's 32 large caps. This spring three of them raised the fee and Konecranes did not. Konecranes is now joint 19th.

Hiab raised its chair fee from €160,000 to €170,000 and now ranks 15th. Kalmar raised it to €168,000 and ranks 16th. Elisa raised it by 3.1% to €165,000 and slipped to 17th. Konecranes kept its fee at €160,000 and fell five places, to joint 19th.

The ranking orders all 32 large caps by chair fee, with first place the highest. Companies paying the same fee share a place

Konecranes fell because others raised around it

Konecranes did not cut its fee. It lost ground because other boards moved past it. Fortum raised its chair fee from €155,000 to €175,000 and climbed four places to 14th. Neste went from €165,000 to €195,000 and rose three places to 10th. Sanoma, which paid €144,000 a year ago, now pays the same €160,000 as Konecranes.

Even a raise above the typical rate cost Elisa three places

Elisa's 3.1% raise was slightly above the typical 2.8% across all 32 companies. It still cost Elisa three places, because the boards around it raised by more: Hiab by 6.3% and Kalmar by 5.0%.

Thirteen boards held their fee, and their peers moved past them

Thirteen large caps held their chair fee this year. Much of the segment is tightly packed: 12 companies pay their chair between €150,000 and €200,000, so small differences in raises quickly reorder the ranking. That is what a nomination board will see when it compares next year's proposal with its peers.

Nineteen of 32 Helsinki large caps raised board fees this spring, and none cut

Board pay at Helsinki's large caps went one way this spring. Nineteen of the 32 boards raised their chair fee at the 2026 annual general meetings, 13 kept it unchanged, and none cut any fee.

Most raises were modest. Counting the boards that held, the typical chair fee rose 2.8%. Among the 19 boards that raised it, the typical increase was 5.2%. Eight raised it by less than 5%, seven by between 5% and 10%, and four by 10% or more.

Neste, Fortum and Sanoma made the biggest raises

Neste moved furthest. Its chair fee rose 18.2%, from €165,000 to €195,000, and its member fee 10.7% to €83,000. Fortum raised its chair fee 12.9%, from €155,000 to €175,000. Sanoma raised its chair fee 11.1% to €160,000, and its vice chair fee 19.0%, from €84,000 to €100,000, the biggest increase for any board role in the segment (Sanoma AGM release).

The fourth raise of 10% or more was Nordea's, which took its chair fee to €440,000, level with Nokia. Part 1 of this series looked at that move in detail.

The raises were spread across the table, not just among low payers

This was not a round of low-paying boards catching up. A year earlier, the boards that went on to raise their chair fee and the boards that held it had the same typical chair fee, €160,000.

At the very top, most boards held. Nokia, UPM, Stora Enso and KONE, four of the six highest payers, left every fee unchanged.

Board members got similar raises to their chairs

The rest of the board was not left behind. Nineteen boards also raised the fee for ordinary members. At the boards that raised fees, the typical increase was 5.2% for the chair, 5.3% for the vice chair and 4.4% for members, so the gap between the roles hardly changed.

In total, the chairs of the 32 large caps are now paid about €5.6 million a year, roughly €205,000 more than in 2025.
