Shein Plans Hong Kong IPO to Raise $1.7 Billion at $26 Billion Valuation
Shein Global Holdings Ltd. is preparing to raise approximately HK 13.6 billion (about $1.7 billion) through its Hong Kong initial public offering, with shares expected to price near HK 48.56 each, close to the midpoint of the marketed range. This values the fast-fashion retailer at around HK 26 billion, significantly lower than its peak private valuation of nearly HK 100 billion in 2022. The IPO marks a key milestone after regulatory challenges, amid concerns over slower growth, shrinking margins, and rising competition. Final pricing is expected soon, with trading set to begin on September 1.
