What: Chinese e-tailer reportedly preparing to enter the US stock market.

Why it is important: The listing could make Shein the biggest Chinese company to go public since the debut of mobility giant Didi Global (valued at USD 68 billion) on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. Shein was valued at more than USD 60 billion (EUR 55 billion) in a USD 2 billion (EUR 1.83 billion) seed round in March.

Shein has been considering a U.S. IPO for at least three years, but the plan has so far been hampered by the close scrutiny that U.S. authorities place on Chinese companies and their accounts and the resulting market volatility of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

A spokesperson for Shein denied the rumours of the company preparing for an IPO.
