Shein could fetch a valuation of $22 billion to $25 billion based on its fast-fashion business, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing Bloomberg Intelligence.
The estimate is below the $30 billion to $40 billion valuation the company is reportedly seeking for its Hong Kong IPO and less than half its $66 billion valuation in a 2023 funding round, the report noted.
Bloomberg Intelligence based its valuation on 13 to 15 times projected 2027 earnings, when it expects profit to recover to about $1.67 billion following weaker results in 2026, Bloomberg said, citing consumer and technology analysts Catherine Lim and Jason Zhu.
Shein's China-based supply chain and overseas revenue leave it exposed to tariffs, shipping costs and regulatory risks, which could limit the premium investors are willing to pay, the report said.
