Shein posts $99 m loss as US tariff change hits sales ahead of Hong Kong IPO
Online fast‑fashion retailer Shein announced a net loss of $99 million for the first quarter of 2026. The loss reflects a $328 million fair‑value accounting charge on convertible redeemable preferred shares and the impact of the United States ending the de‑minimis import‑duty exemption for parcels under $800, which raised tariffs on low‑value shipments to between 10 % and 87.5 %. Revenue grew only 1.1 % to $9 billion, while U.S. sales fell 14 % to $2 billion, reducing the market’s share of total revenue to 22.5 %. The filing shows Shein had 281 million active customers at the end of March 2026. The China Securities Regulatory Commission approved the company’s Hong Kong share sale on 10 July 2026, clearing the way for a long‑awaited IPO that targets a valuation of $40‑$50 billion.
