ABOUT SHEIN
SHEIN, established in 2012, disrupted the fashion industry by introducing fast fashion principles to a global audience. Its rapid production cycles and trend-driven approach made affordable clothing accessible worldwide (SHEIN is available in 150 different countries). Over the years, SHEIN has evolved into a comprehensive online marketplace, offering not only fashion but also a diverse range of products including home goods and electronics. Despite its meteoric rise and financial success, it is yet to be publicly tradable.
With a recent valuation of $66 billion in 2023 in a private funding round, SHEIN continues to pursue growth opportunities. Expanding partnerships, diversifying product offerings, and addressing shifting consumer preferences are key priorities. While SHEIN's dominance in fast fashion is undeniable, its ability to navigate challenges and maintain its market position in an increasingly competitive and socially conscious landscape remains a topic of interest and scrutiny.
According to insiders SHEIN, initially poised for an IPO on the NYSE, has altered its plans due to push back from US lawmakers about copyright infringement lawsuits and criticism for its environmental and labour practice, opting instead to pivot towards the LSE. This listing on the LSE could come before the end of the month. If SHEIN maintains it’s $66 billion valuation it will be the largest LSE IPO ever surpassing Glencore (2011) by almost two-fold.

How do IPOs work?
IPOs work by having a company put its shares up for sale to the public. Some common reasons for this include seeking to raise capital for business growth, decreasing or settling debts, positioning itself to better attract and retain talent, or increasing liquidity.
The IPO process starts off with a detailed audit of the company by an external resource – it must be conducted taking all the company’s financials into consideration. Next, a registration statement needs to be prepared by the business and filed with the appropriate exchange commission. If the commission grants approval, the company can then list a set number of shares at a price determined by an investment bank.
