Shein began trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Tuesday under the stock code 00625, with its stock falling about 9% on its first day of public trading after a years-long effort to go public.

The Singapore-headquartered company sold roughly 280 million Class B shares, netting about HK$13.60 billion ($1.74 billion) in proceeds, with the final offer price landing at HK$48.56 per share, according to CNBC. That offer price fell below the maximum of HK$49.50 per share. The IPO values Shein at roughly $26.5 billion, compared with a private-market valuation of $100 billion in 2022.
