Shein is planning to raise up to $13.86 billion in Hong Kong dollars ($1.77 billion) in its initial public offering, according to a filing on Monday. The fast-fashion retailer is selling around 280 million class B shares, priced between HK$47.60 and HK$49.50 per share, valuing it at close to US$27 billion at the top of that range. The final price will be announced by the company on Aug. 31, with shares expected to start trading on Sep. 1. The company, which was valued at $64 billion in 2023 and April 2024, saw its valuation drop sharply from earlier private fundraising rounds that valued it at $98.2 billion in 2022, according to Reuters. The company’s valuation has fallen due to a slowdown in its rapid growth and pressure on profitability. Revenue growth decelerated to 8% in 2025 from 20.7% a year earlier, while the loss of a U.S. import-duty exemption and a one-time accounting charge pushed it to a $99 million loss in early 2026.
