Shein is selling 280 million shares between HK$47.60 and HK$49.50 per share, the filings showed, valuing it at close to $27 billion at the top of that range.

The valuation has dropped sharply from earlier private fundraising rounds that valued Shein at $98.2 billion in 2022. The company was valued at $64 billion in 2023 and April 2024.

The company will announce the final price on August 31 and start trading on Sept. 1.
