Aktien: Verhaltener Börsenstart für chinesischen Modehändler Shein
Der chinesische Online-Modehändler ist nach langem Vorlauf in Hongkong an die Börse gegangen. Die erste Kursentwicklung illustriert: Die Zeit der Euphorie im E-Commerce ist vorerst vorbei.
On Tuesday, Chinese online fashion retailer Shein made its long-awaited debut on the Hong Kong stock market. The company's shares opened at 48.56 Hong Kong dollars, just above the midpoint of its previously announced price range. This valuation translated to approximately $26 billion. Throughout the trading session, the shares fell by up to 10 percent but recovered a portion of the losses.
Prior to the official market launch, the company's shares had fallen more than 10 percent in over-the-counter trading by several brokerages. The portion of shares reserved for retail investors was oversubscribed by 5.6 times. Institutional investors sold 2.6 times the available shares, according to a company statement. This enthusiasm for Shein shares was significantly lower than for shares of several Chinese tech companies, some of which saw thousand-fold oversubscription, such as the robot maker Unitree.
"Since Hong Kong investors prefer companies in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology, the appeal of Shein as a traditional e-commerce company that heavily focuses on price competition is comparatively limited," said Shen Meng, a director at Beijing-based investment bank Chanson & Co., according to Bloomberg's business news on Tuesday morning.
