  1. Shein Shares Slide in Hong Kong After Long-Delayed IPO

    Shein shares dropped as much as 10% during their initial trading session on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after a long delay in going public. The stock opened at 48.56 Hong Kong dollars and finished the session down around 4% at 46.36 Hong Kong dollars. The public offering raised about $1.7 billion at a share price of 48.56 Hong Kong dollars, or $6.19. This initial valuation exceeds $26 billion, marking a significant drop from the peak valuation of over $100 billion achieved during a 2022 private fundraising round.

    Why it matters

    The sluggish market debut exposes investor anxieties regarding tariffs, slowing growth, mounting regulatory pressure, losses, and global tax changes. The listing also places a sharp focus on the company's China roots. These financial hurdles follow a period of weak consumer sentiment that weighed heavily on the final valuation.

    Shein shares fell as much as 10% in early trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange following a delayed initial public offering.
