Shein's IPO Valuation Falls to $40-50 Billion as US Tariffs Drive First-Quarter Loss

Shein is seeking to raise $2 billion to $3 billion in its IPO at a valuation of $40 billion to $50 billion, according to financial documents. The fast-fashion retailer reported a net loss of $99 million in the first quarter of 2026, reversing a $395 million profit a year earlier, partly due to a $328 million fair-value loss on convertible preferred shares. US tariffs imposed in May 2025 cut Shein's US revenue by 14.3% to $2.04 billion in the quarter. The company's valuation has fallen from $100 billion in 2022.
