The Story in Brief
Bloomberg Intelligence estimates Shein Global Holdings Ltd.’s IPO value at $22 billion to $25 billion, well below the $30 billion some investors had targeted. The valuation is based on 13 to 15 times projected 2027 earnings of $1.67 billion, after freight and tariff shocks weigh on 2026 results.
The Singapore-based fast-fashion retailer, founded in China, saw its peak valuation of $100 billion in 2022 tumble to $66 billion in a 2023 funding round. Slowing revenue growth and profitability, plus US tariffs and Middle East disruptions, have pressured the stock. Shein is now aiming for $30-40 billion, which analysts say requires “clean marketplace mix shift and flawless European regulatory execution.”
The Indian Opinion
The hype around Shein’s IPO keeps swinging wildly, from $100 billion in 2022 to $22-25 billion now. Some still tout $30 billion as if the company hasn’t disclosed slowing revenue and profit growth. The real question: can Shein prove its marketplace model works under US tariffs and Middle East disruptions? Watch the 2027 earnings target of $1.67 billion. If Shein misses that, the current valuation may still be too generous.
