IPO raises funds but faces tariff and geopolitical risks
Chinese Online Retailer SHEIN Raises About 280 Billion Yen in Hong Kong IPO
Corporate Action
SHEIN, a Chinese online retailer, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the 1st, with its opening price at HK$48.56 per share (about 990 yen), matching the offer price, and raised about 280 billion yen from the listing. The company has expanded globally on the strength of low prices, but US-China tensions have emerged as a risk factor, and changes in tariff policies by the US and the European Union (EU) to protect their domestic industries have also cast a shadow over its performance. The proceeds will be used to build an AI-based inventory management system, among other purposes. Its market capitalization based on the opening price is about 4.2 trillion yen.
