Shein makes subdued stock market debut on Hong Kong exchange

Shein, a Chinese online fashion retailer, made its highly anticipated stock market debut in Hong Kong on Tuesday. The company's shares were initially traded at 48.56 Hong Kong dollars, valuing the company at around 26 billion US dollars. The portion of shares reserved for retail investors was 5.6 times oversubscribed, while institutional investors applied for 2.6 times the available shares.
