Shein shares fall 10% in Hong Kong debut, IPO raises $1.7bn at $26.3bn valuation
–
Neutral summary
Chinese online retailer Shein made its long-awaited stock market debut on the Hong Kong exchange on September 1, raising $1.7 billion at a valuation of about $26.3 billion. Shares plunged as much as 10% in early trading, hitting a low of HK$43.72, before recovering to close the day down just 0.1% at HK$48.50. The listing followed years of failed attempts to go public in New York and London due to regulatory hurdles. The valuation is far below the nearly $100 billion peak reached in private funding rounds in 2022, with analysts attributing the weak debut to investor concerns over growth, margins, and rising trade barriers, including tariffs on small parcels shipped from China.
