Shein in a quarter with a $99 million deep loss.

Shein, a Chinese e-commerce giant, reported a loss of $99 million (€87 million) in the first quarter of 2026, marking a significant decline from its $395 million profit during the same period last year. The company attributed this financial downturn to various external factors, including international tensions affecting trade policies and new regulatory measures. Specifically, Shein highlighted the recent closure of tax exemptions for small shipments arriving in the U.S., as well as a new European Union regulation imposing customs duties on packages valued under €150. These changes have impacted the company’s operations and profitability. This disclosure comes as Shein prepares for its planned listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange, though the exact timeline for this event remains unclear.
