Shein plans cautious Hong Kong IPO at $30–40B

Shein completed its Hong Kong IPO, raising approximately $1.77 billion at a valuation of $26–27 billion, a steep drop from its $100 billion peak in 2022. The stock debuted 8% below its issue price despite backing from cornerstone investors like Tencent and Tiger Global. In 2025, revenue grew 8% to $41.8 billion, but net profit plunged 39% to $2.06 billion, followed by a $99 million loss in Q1 2026. The elimination of de-minimis tariff exemptions in the US and EU has squeezed its duty-free shipping model, forcing a pivot toward profitability. Investor demand was muted, with the valuation still seen as rich at 15 times forward earnings. Meanwhile, Anthropic is reportedly planning an IPO, with speculative pre-IPO contracts on crypto exchanges implying a valuation up to $1.9 trillion, far exceeding its last $965 billion funding round.

• Shein raised ~$1.77 billion in its Hong Kong IPO, listing at a valuation of $26–27 billion, down from $100 billion in 2022.
• Shein's 2025 net profit fell 39% to $2.06 billion, followed by a $99 million net loss in Q1 2026, despite an 8% revenue gain to $41.8 billion.
• The US and EU eliminated de minimis import exemptions, squeezing Shein's direct-to-consumer shipping model and margins.
