Shares of Shein dropped nearly 18% on their first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, marking a turbulent start for the Chinese-owned ultra-fast fashion retailer.<\/p>\n
The company priced its shares at $36 each, but they slipped to approximately $29.55 by late afternoon. The decline triggered significant market scrutiny regarding the long-term sustainability of the ultra-fast fashion sector.<\/p>\n
Industry experts warn that the market reaction could signal a turning point for low-cost, high-volume clothing models. Critics have long targeted Shein for its environmental impact and labor practices, arguing that consumer sentiment may increasingly shift away from disposable fashion.<\/p>\n
Despite the listing, Shein’s valuation has decreased substantially from its previous peak of $66 billion in 2023. At current trading levels, the retailer is worth less than half of that figure, reflecting broader investor caution.<\/p>\n
This underwhelming debut follows similar struggles by other major e-commerce platforms, including Temu, which also faced initial volatility following its market entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
