Shein's IPO Delay FAST-FASHION Group Pushes London Listing to H2 Amid Regulatory Headwinds

Despite being a leading player in the fast-fashion market, Shein is facing an unexpected setback as it prepares for its initial public offering (IPO) on the UK stock market. According to recent reports, the company is likely to delay its listing from the first half of 2023 to the second half of the year.

The reason behind this delay lies in the removal of de minimis rules by the Trump administration, which had previously helped Shein keep prices low. This change is expected to negatively impact Shein's profitability and lead to increased product prices in its largest customer base, the US market.

Background Shein's Plans for a London Listing

As reported last month, Shein was aiming to go public in London in the first half of 2023, pending regulatory approvals from both the United Kingdom and China. The company had previously indicated that a listing could occur as early as this Easter, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

The Consequences of De Minimis Rule Changes

The removal of de minimis rules is part of Trump's imposition of an additional 10-percent tariff on China, marking the beginning of a clash between the world's two largest economies. Shein and its rival Temu accounted for more than 30 percent of all packages shipped to the US each day under this provision, which exempted shipments of less than $800 from import duties.

Valuation Adjustments

In light of these regulatory headwinds, Shein is likely to adjust its valuation in a potential listing to around $50 billion, nearly a quarter less than its fundraising value of $66 billion in 2023. This adjustment reflects the growing challenges faced by the fast-fashion industry.

Conclusion A Delayed but Not Defeated IPO

Shein's delay in listing on the UK stock market is a temporary setback for this innovative company. Despite these regulatory hurdles, Shein remains poised to revolutionize the fashion industry with its unique business model and global reach.
