Shein IPO valuation seen at $22 billion to $25 billion, BI says
Bloomberg Intelligence pegs the estimate on a rebound in 2027 earnings after freight and tariff shocks weigh on 2026 results.
Bloomberg Intelligence estimates Shein Global Holdings Ltd.’s valuation at $22 billion to $25 billion ahead of one of the biggest IPOs of the year, according to LiveMint Markets.
The range implies a multiple of 13 to 15 times projected 2027 earnings, with BI using 2027 as a more normalized baseline after freight and tariff impacts are expected to pressure 2026 results.
LiveMint Markets reports analysts Catherine Lim and Jason Zhu expect Shein’s earnings to recover to $1.67 billion in 2027 and then grow about 20% annually through 2029, and they argue Shein’s valuation should assume normalized growth rather than a depressed 2026 starting point.
BI also notes Shein sits between a China-linked e-commerce model and a global fast-fashion retailer, with a supply chain concentrated in mainland China and earnings generated overseas, leaving it exposed to shipping costs, tariffs, and regulatory requirements across markets. LiveMint Markets says Shein has aimed for a $30 billion to $40 billion valuation, and that BI views such a price as requiring a marketplace mix shift and successful European regulatory execution.
