Google will sync cycle data from Flo Health, used by more than 80 million women a month, into Google Health and its coach from early next year. The coach sits in the $10-a-month Premium tier, so the deal's value to Google depends on how many users subscribe.

Oura postponed its Nasdaq IPO in the week it was slated to list, while reporting a profit and projecting 90% revenue growth for fiscal 2026. Bloomberg ties a run of delayed deals to a market waiting on Anthropic, so the test for Oura is whether it comes back on the same terms after that listing.

Anthropic is aiming for a November IPO after its draft prospectus showed an operating loss of about $8 billion on $4.6 billion of revenue last year. OpenAI is staying private until 2027, so Anthropic's listing puts a frontier lab's finances in front of public investors first.

Oura postponed its $2.2bn Nasdaq IPO on pricing day after its shares reportedly looked set to sell at the bottom of their $40-to-$44 range. Even $40 a share would have valued the profitable ring maker near $14.2bn, above its 2025 private round, so the dispute is over how far above.
