Part of situation: Shein profits and shares plunge amid declining US and EU (26 clusters)

Shein prepares for Hong Kong IPO with $26–$27 billion valuation

Shein IPO Hong Kong Stock Exchange fast fashion ESG scrutiny cross-border e-commerce

Fast-fashion giant Shein is proceeding with its Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO), with the order book reportedly fully covered. The company plans to sell approximately 280 million shares at a price range of 47.60 to 49.50 Hong Kong dollars per share, aiming to raise between 1.5 billion and 1.8 billion dollars. Trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is expected to commence on September 1, 2026.

The IPO valuation is estimated to be between 26 and 27 billion dollars, a significant decrease from its 2022 private market peak of nearly 100 billion dollars. This valuation reset follows slowed growth and a reported net loss of 99 million dollars in the first quarter of 2026.

Shein faces substantial regulatory and ESG challenges. The company is under investigation by the European Commission and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regarding labor standards, environmental impacts, and consumer protection. Additionally, changes in tax policies in the U.S. and EU, such as the removal of de minimis exemptions for small parcels, are impacting its low-cost business model. Governance concerns have also been raised, as the four co-founders are expected to retain 90% of voting rights post-IPO.
