  "account": "Chinese e-commerce giant Shein aims to go public in Hong Kong with a market capitalization of around $25 billion, according to insiders. The company's stock value could reach $28 billion depending on the offering size, added a person familiar with the IPO. Shein, known for cheap fashion and rapidly changing collections, has not been reachable for comment. The submission deadline for the planned Hong Kong IPO is August 19, with the initial notice slated for August 28. With roughly $25 billion in valuation, Shein's stock value would be significantly below its previously targeted $30 to $40 billion range. In recent weeks, investors have questioned this goal due to slowing growth. A financing round in 2022 valued Shein at $100 billion. New tariffs are causing losses for Shein and other Chinese discount retailers like Temu, who have been bypassing EU and U.S. customs regulations by directly shipping products from factory to consumer. International backlash led Chinese authorities to impose a minimum tariff or suspend duty-free status for goods below a certain threshold. Shein subsequently entered the red in the first quarter.",
  "summary": "Insidern zufolge soll Shein beim Börsengang einen wesentlich niedrigeren Wert anstreben als bisher erwartet. Auch neue Zölle bereiten dem Onlinehändler Verluste.",
