Oruka Therapeutics files $500 million at-the-market stock offering with TD Cowen

The clinical-stage biopharma can sell up to $500 million in shares through TD Cowen under a prospectus dated August 27, 2026, with an amended sales agreement.

Oruka Therapeutics, Inc. filed a prospectus dated August 27, 2026, covering the potential sale of up to $500,000,000 of common stock through a sales agreement dated October 3, 2025 with TD Securities (USA) LLC, known as TD Cowen1, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 dated August 21, 20261.

Under the arrangement, shares may be sold in negotiated transactions, including block trades, or through methods considered an "at the market offering" under Rule 415(a)(4), including sales on the Nasdaq Global Market or other existing trading markets1. TD Cowen is not obligated to sell any set amount; instead it will act as sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices1. For its work, TD Cowen's aggregate compensation is a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of shares sold under the agreement1.

The company said its stock trades on Nasdaq under "ORKA," and the last reported sale price on August 20, 2026 was $104.86 per share1. Assuming sale of 4,768,262 shares at that price, Oruka said it could have up to 65,838,149 shares of common stock outstanding after the offering1.

On dilution, Oruka reported that its net tangible book value as of June 30, 2026 stood at $1,114.5 million, equal to $18.25 per share1. The company said that after the assumed offering, its as-adjusted net tangible book value would rise to $1,599.2 million, or $24.29 per share, marking an immediate increase of $6.04 per share for existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $80.57 per share for new investors1.

Oruka said it intends to use net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including research and development and working capital1. The company's lead programs include ORKA-001 and ORKA-002 for psoriasis, and ORKA-004, targeting TL1A, according to the filing.
