Fast-fashion giant Shein set to open flat in Hong Kong market debut

Shein, the fast-fashion giant, is set to open flat in its Hong Kong market debut, according to initial reports from the New Straits Times. The company, known for selling affordable clothing items like US$5 tops and US$10 dresses, has faced numerous setbacks that have delayed its listing and undermined its business foundations. Despite being worth an estimated US$100 billion in 2022, Shein's initial public offering valued the company at about US$26.5 billion, indicating a significant drop in valuation.

The company has been hit by tariff and duty changes in the US and Europe, and failed to list in New York and London due to intense scrutiny of its business practices in the West and blocked by Chinese authorities.
