- Shein launched an offering of 280 million shares on Monday, August 24, priced at HK$47.60 to HK$49.50, which could raise up to HK$13.86 billion.
- At the top of the price range, the company would be valued at nearly US$27 billion, about 70 percent below its private-market peak four years ago.
- Analysts attribute the valuation decline to a slower growth outlook, tariffs, intensifying competition and rising costs.
- Shein plans to announce the final IPO price on August 31 and begin trading on September 1.
“Public investors are no longer paying for hypergrowth,” said Winston Ma, an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law and former head of North America for China’s sovereign wealth fund CIC. “They are underwriting a mature cross-border platform that must now defend its profit margins against trade tariffs, higher compliance costs, and regulatory scrutiny in both the U.S. and China.”— Winston Ma, adjunct professor at NYU School of Law and former head of North America for China’s sovereign wealth fund CIC, commenting on investor sentiment and regulatory scrutiny affecting Shein’s IPO.

- In late 2024, Shein planned to make Vietnam a major export base and leased 15 hectares of warehouse space near Ho Chi Minh City for that purpose.
- Two sources said the lease now covers six hectares, while another person with direct knowledge described one-third of the originally planned site as being used; during a late-July visit, only a handful of workers and a few trucks were present.
- The US government ordered the end of the duty-free de minimis rule for shipments under US$800 from all countries on July 30, 2025, with the measure taking effect a month later as tariffs on Chinese goods subsequently declined and Vietnam's advantage narrowed.
- Supply-chain sources cited lower efficiency and difficulty finding workers willing to work long hours as problems in Vietnam, while Shein is investing further in Guangzhou and Guangdong and CEO Sky Xu pledged in February to spend more than 10 billion yuan on a smart supply-chain system.
Sourcing diversification beyond China has practical limits, especially for companies like Shein whose competitive advantage depends on speed, flexibility, and extremely small production runs.— Said by Sheng Lu, professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware, in a Reuters interview about Shein's Vietnam strategy.
