By Lee Shih Ta
The world of ultra-fast fashion relies on speedy gratification, with a brand new outfit just a click away. Chinese clothing retailer&nbsp;Shein&nbsp;has made rapid inroads into Western markets with this business model, but an overseas IPO has not turned out to be a quick win.
Amid mounting tensions with Western trading nations, China&rsquo;s&nbsp;e-commerce companies are finding themselves caught in the crossfire. Shein came up against firm resistance as it shopped around for an overseas IPO venue and could also face an assault on its price advantage in U.S. markets.
Shein is officially headquartered in Singapore, but its operations are rooted in China&rsquo;s Guangdong Province. An attempt to list in New York faltered after political opposition. The fashion powerhouse then switched its attentions to the London Stock Exchange, which is keen to get the IPO business, but the revised plan could also be running into trouble.
A senior British political figure is calling for closer government scrutiny of the IPO application, citing concerns about the treatment of workers in Shein&rsquo;s supply chain.
Liam Byrne, a lawmaker in the ruling Labour Party who heads parliament&rsquo;s powerful trade committee, wants the government to emulate a U.S. ban on cotton imports from the Xinjiang region over the suspected use of forced labor from among the Uighur community. Britain should adopt the same standards on human rights and supply chain transparency as the United States in the interest of strengthening bilateral ties, Byrne said in statements reported by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4d23f0db-9b2b-45f3-a8cf-0f99dddc636d">U.K. media</a>.
Meanwhile, U.K. activists have launched a &ldquo;Say No to Shein&rdquo; campaign, calling for the company&rsquo;s labor practices, environmental impact and tax arrangements to be investigated before any IPO green light is given.
<h3>Tax Loophole</h3>
The controversy highlights a growing polarization between China and the West as commercial competition intensifies.
According to a study by the International Monetary Fund, the globalized world is dividing into two blocs led by the U.S. and China, with declining trade and investment links between the competing alliances.
Against this background, U.S. legislators have turned their critical gaze towards the duty-free tax status enjoyed by the flood of small packages sent to U.S. consumers by Chinese e-commerce firms such as Shein and Temu.
The U.S. government recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/us-take-steps-curb-low-value-chinese-shipments-under-800-de-minimis-exemption-2024-09-13/">announced&nbsp;</a>that it wanted to curb the volume of small shipments that currently enter the country duty free up to a value threshold of $800, under a provision originally intended to make it easier for individuals to get modest packages or souvenirs from abroad.
Critics of the so-called &ldquo;de minimis&rdquo; rule say it has been exploited by the likes of Shein and Temu to offer products at ultra-low prices, to the detriment of U.S. producers and retailers. According to the White House, the number of low-value items entering the U.S. without incurring import taxes has jumped from 140 million to 1 billion in the past decade.
The China Select Committee&nbsp;in the U.S. Congress&nbsp;estimates that 30% of all goods imported under the rule were shipped by Shein and Temu. The bipartisan group of lawmakers also predicted the proposed revision would add at least another 20% to the prices charged by Shein and Temu, dealing a significant blow to the Chinese companies&rsquo; market competitiveness.
Under the proposed change, goods otherwise subject to trade tariffs &ndash; including around 70% of textiles and clothing produced by China &ndash; would no longer qualify for the tax break for low-value goods.
The U.S. is not alone in rethinking the tax treatment of online shopping sourced from overseas. The European Union is also reported to be considering revoking a similar rule that allows online purchases worth up to 150 euros to enter its market free of duty.
The defensive moves point to growing concern about the threat that cheap imports are posing to domestic manufacturers via online shopping platforms.
Sales figures from Chinese online giants underline how quickly they have been changing the game. Shein&rsquo;s sales rose&nbsp;40% last year to $32.2 billion (around 228 billion yuan),&nbsp;surpassing&nbsp;Zara&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/idexy#OTC">IDEXY</a>),&nbsp;H&amp;M&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hnnmy#OTC">HNNMY</a>) and&nbsp;UNIQLO&nbsp;(6288.HK; 9983.T). The year-on-year growth in sales&nbsp;accelerated from a 37% rise in 2022.&nbsp;
Low price&nbsp;is Shein&rsquo;s biggest weapon in the fast-fashion market. On Shein dresses were selling for an average of $28.5&nbsp;in early June, compared with about $40&nbsp;at&nbsp;H&amp;M and $79 at Zara, according to&nbsp;data from the retail analytics firm Edited. If the tax changes push its prices up by 20%, Shein&nbsp;will land in the same price ballpark as&nbsp;H&amp;M.&nbsp;
<h3>Pushback From China?&nbsp;</h3>
Valued at $66 billion last year after its latest funding round, Shein is a super unicorn following in the footsteps of other Chinese tech companies on the global market stage, but in rather more challenging times. A decade ago,&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>) raised $25 billion&nbsp;through&nbsp;a New York IPO, while Shein got a frostier reception in its bid to list on global exchanges.
Founded in Nanjing, Shein moved its headquarters to Singapore to better access Western capital, whilefounder&nbsp;Chris Xu even took up formal residency in the city state, underlining the company&rsquo;s international credentials. Shein&rsquo;s online profile plays down the company&rsquo;s Chinese origins, but&nbsp;the&nbsp;supply chains, warehouses and inventories&nbsp;are still very much inside&nbsp;China.
Shein is not just coming under Western scrutiny over its listing plans &ndash; it is also still subject to Chinese regulatory oversight. Chinese rules require a company to file IPO plans with the country&rsquo;s securities regulator if 50% or more of its operating income, profits, total assets or net assets are generated within China, regardless of where the holding company is registered.&nbsp;
Chinese regulators have yet to approve Shein&rsquo;s plans for an&nbsp;overseas IPO. In fact, some foreign media have reported that the government is unhappy about Shein distancing itself from its Chinese heritage and could be worried about fostering a growing trend of corporate decoupling.&nbsp;
With resistance from China and the U.S., Shein might want to weigh up the merits of a listing in Hong Kong.

Far From Fast: Shein's Overseas Odyssey Hits Fresh Obstacles

H&amp;M (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNNMY#OTC">HNNMY</a>) CEO Helena Helmersson has resigned with immediate effect. The company&#8217;s veteran, Daniel Ervér, has taken over. The sudden change in leadership comes as the Swedish fashion retailer grapples with declining sales and profitability.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Helmersson unexpectedly stepped down, citing the demanding nature of her role and her lack of energy to continue, reported Reuters. This announcement resulted in a disappointing 8% drop in the company&#8217;s shares.
The company&#8217;s sales for December and January also saw a 4% decrease compared to the previous year, a concerning trend for the crucial Christmas shopping period. H&amp;M, the world&#8217;s second-largest listed fashion retailer, has been struggling to compete with the likes of Zara and Shein, both of which have experienced robust sales growth.

Adil Shah, a portfolio manager at Storebrand in Oslo, which holds H&amp;M shares, noted that the market might view the leadership change favorably, especially with the speculation that the margin targets may not be met.
Despite the recent challenges, H&amp;M has been focusing on profitability over sales volumes, aiming for a 10% operating margin this year. Daniel Ervér, who has been with H&amp;M for 18 years, will continue to oversee the retailer&#8217;s core H&amp;M brand alongside his new role as CEO.
Why It Matters: H&amp;M&#8217;s leadership change comes after a series of strategic moves and challenges. In October, the company <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/35101447/h-m-finds-a-new-online-home-with-reliance-retails-ajio">expanded its online presence in India</a> by partnering with Reliance Retail&#8217;s Ajio, potentially indicating a shift from its exclusive online alliance with Myntra.

The company also launched a resale program in partnership with ThredUp to promote sustainability and circular fashion.

H&M CEO Abruptly Quits, Shares Drop 8% Amid Slump In Sales And Profitability

Last Wednesday, Roblox Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rblx#NASDAQ">RBLX</a>) shares tanked 21% after it missed top and bottom-line estimates with its second-quarter results. But with its partnerships, including the one with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>), Spotify Technology (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spot#NYSE">SPOT</a>) and H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hnnmy#OTC">HNNMY</a>), Roblox has over 200 brand activations on its platforms and therefore, atleast expects to make revenue this year in advertising.
<h3>Second Quarter Highlights</h3>
For the quarter that ended on June 30th, Roblox generated&nbsp;$781 million in revenue which it calls bookings, coming in below the $785 million that Refinitiv expected. Be selling its virtual currency Roblux to players who use it to buy in-game features, Roblox&nbsp;made a net loss of $282.8 million which is worse than $176.4 million&nbsp;it lost during last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter. The&nbsp;46 cents loss was slightly worse than the 45 cents loss&nbsp;that Refinitiv expected. Roblox management attributed the greater loss to increased expenses that come with growth, including corporate overhead and personnel costs, developer exchange fees along with infrastructure costs.
Average daily active users rose 25% YoY as they amounted to 65.5 million. Users also increased their engagement as hours rose&nbsp;24% YoY with&nbsp;14 billion hours spent in Roblox. Roblox has a long-term goal to gather&nbsp;1 billion daily users.
<h3>Meta Virtual Headset Entry Was A&nbsp;Success</h3>
Earlier in August,&nbsp;CEO David Baszucki&nbsp;tweeted that only five days after being launched in a beta capacity, Roblox experiences had more than one million downloads through virtual reality headsets made by Meta. By becoming available on Meta, more precisely, its Quest VR headsets,&nbsp;Roblox developer community got the opportunity to optimize their games for Quest and build new ones for the VR community through previous input and feedback from Meta and its Quest community. As for Roblox, it&rsquo;s good to gain another presence, along with the one it has in the Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) universe, or more precisely, its Xbox.
<h3>Even Gamers Are Inflation-wary But Roblox Is Diversifying Its Revenue Sources</h3>
Although it was initially more popular with youngsters, Roblox is working to attract all categories and it reported to have observed growth in daily active users across the planet and of all age groups. But Roblox is still expected to operate at a loss for the foreseeable future as growth comes at a cost. Shares tumbled as its report reflected the consequences of slowing demand in online gaming and a crowded landscape, but the online gaming platform has jumped on the AI band-wagon with a robust pipeline of promising innovations for the years ahead and with 200 brand activations,&nbsp;it will be making money from advertising as it continues to expand its virtual footprint.&nbsp;

Swedish clothing giant&nbsp;Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hnnmy#OTC">HNNMY</a>) group&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://hmgroup.com/news/the-hm-groups-sales-development-in-the-second-quarter-2023/" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">reported&nbsp;</a>a 6% year-on-year growth in second-quarter FY23 sales to SEK57.6 billion.
H&amp;M said sales measured in local currencies for its March-May quarter were flattish.
Sales in the second quarter were affected by unfavorable weather conditions compared to the corresponding period last year on several of the H&amp;M group&#39;s large markets.
The company said June has got off to a good start.
Cold weather for the past few months over Europe has affected demand for summer sales.
Analysts at Royal Bank of Canada said the Swedish company&#39;s third quarter, which runs from June to August, would be helped by warmer weather, reported&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/hm-march-may-local-currency-sales-unchanged-lag-expectations-2023-06-15/" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Reuters</a>.

Overview: 
The securities lending volatility indicator is produced by Tidal Markets, in partnership with Benzinga Insights. Securities lending primarily serves the purpose of providing liquidity to short sellers. When unusual activity occurs in the securities lending markets, it acts as an upstream indicator to what is likely to occur downstream in the regular stock market.
Understanding the Volatility Alert: 
Overall sentiment is considered &quot;bear&quot; when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered &quot;bull&quot; when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity. Unusual short activity is based off a computer generated algorithmic formula utilizing securities lending trade details such as the volume of shares being shorted, the rate being paid to short the shares, and the type of collateral being posted - amongst other variables. The current volatility is the respective trading day&#39;s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change. Recommendations may include, &quot;Strong Buy&quot;, &quot;Strong Sell&quot;, &quot;Increase Short Exposure&quot;, &quot;Decrease Short Exposure&quot;, or &quot;Market Neutral&quot;.

<li>The Fed stepping in to prevent a bank run could be a restart of quantitative easing, setting the stage for much larger problems, said&nbsp;Genevieve Roch-Decter,&nbsp;founder of financial media company&nbsp;Grit Capital.</li>

<li>Credit Suisse Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cs#NYSE">CS</a>) shares were plunging in premarket trading on Wednesday after its biggest shareholder ruled out continued financing support.</li>
<li>Shares of the Swiss lender fell 1.18% on Tuesday despite the broader market recovery after it said it found material weaknesses in its financial reporting over the past two years due to ineffective internal controls.</li>
<li>The renewed selling came on the back of its biggest investor &mdash;&nbsp;Saudi National Bank &mdash;&nbsp;stating it would not buy additional shares in Credit Suisse.</li>
<li>The Saudi bank reportedly said regulatory guidelines do not allow it to invest over 10% of an entity. Reuters reported that the Middle East bank&#39;s stake in Credit Suisse is tantalizingly close to the mark.</li>

<li>The standalone joint venture is owned 50% by H&amp;M Group and 50% by Remondis.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Looper intends to collect, sort and sell used and unwanted garments and textiles and thereby extend the highest use of these valuable resources.</li>

Twitter Rolls Out 'Blue For Business,' Visa Pitches Auto-Payments On Ethereum Blockchain, Justin Bieber Slams H&M: Today's Top Stories

Wealth inequality intensifies the demand for luxury goods as a growing affluent class seeks exclusive, high-end products. This dynamic is fueling the luxury goods market's expansion. Thus, sound luxury stocks Ferrari (RACE), H & M (HNNMY), and Ralph Lauren (RL) could make wise additions to one's portfolio. Read on… Wealth inequality is creating a fertile ground for the luxury market to thrive. Premium products, known for their superior quality and durability, are priced beyond the reach of the majority. This exclusivity is driving luxury brands to target the affluent, where the uniqueness and prestige of a product outweigh its cost.
Fundamentally robust stocks Ferrari N.V. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RACE/">RACE</a>), H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (publ) (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HNNMY/">HNNMY</a>), and Ralph Lauren Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RL/">RL</a>) stand to benefit from this trend. The current wealth disparity positions these luxury stocks for significant growth as the high-net-worth population's demand for exclusive items rises.
Over <a href="https://apps.urban.org/features/wealth-inequality-charts/">the past 60 years</a>, wealth has shifted dramatically from the middle class to the wealthiest families, exacerbating inequality, particularly in America. Despite claims of progress, the racial wealth gap is also widening due to historical and generational wealth transfers, affecting economic disparities.
President Joe Biden's <a href="https://news.duke.edu/stories/2024/06/10/u-s-racial-wealth-gap-is-persistent-and-growing-new-research-finds/">2024 State of the Union address</a> suggested a narrowing racial wealth gap. However, recent research from Duke University highlights that this gap is, in fact, expanding, driven by deep-rooted racial and economic histories.
In this climate of increasing wealth inequality, luxury stocks are poised for solid growth. As the affluent class grows, their demand for high-end goods fuels sales and profits, making luxury brands a strong investment choice amid economic disparities.
That said, the global luxury market demonstrated impressive resilience in 2023, overcoming geopolitical and economic challenges to surpass a record <a href="https://www.bain.com/about/media-center/press-releases/2024/following-a-record-year-the-stalled-luxury-goods-market-faces-a-dilemma-between-catering-to-top-clientele-and-reaching-new-audiences-amid-ongoing-complexities/">€1.5 trillion ($1.65 trillion)</a>. This indicates a prosperous future for luxury investments.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global luxury goods market is set to grow to $392.40 billion by 2030 <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/luxury-goods-market-103866">at a CAGR of 4.7%</a>. This growth reflects the increasing influence of technology and the expanding wealth of luxury consumers.
In light of these encouraging trends, let's examine the fundamentals of three luxury goods stock picks, starting with #3.
Stock #3: Ferrari N.V. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RACE/">RACE</a>)

This entry follows the successful launch of the same system in the United States less than a year ago. RACE also expects to expand cryptocurrency transactions to other countries in its international dealer network by the end of 2024.
As payments through cryptocurrencies are getting more and more popular nowadays, the new payment system is expected to make the clients experience more convenient and boost the company's overall popularity and growth.
On June 21, RACE announced the <a href="https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/inauguration-of-the-ferrari-e-building-in-the-presence-of-the-president-of-the-italian-republic-corporate">inauguration of its new e-building</a>, in presence of Italian President Sergio Mattarella. The e-building, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, will produce internal combustion-engined cars, hybrids and Ferrari's first electric model, including high-voltage batteries, electric motors and axles.

RACE shares have gained 29.1% over the past nine months and 43.8% over the past year, closing the last trading session at $454.13.

On July 9, ARKET, a modern-day market and lifestyle brand owned by HNNMY, announced its <a href="https://hmgroup.com/news/arket-opens-two-flagship-stores-in-milan-and-barcelona/">opening of two flagship stores in Milan and Barcelona</a>. The stores carry the brand's full assortment of ready-to-wear and accessories for women and men, childrenswear, body care, and interior design, with both being the first ARKET stores in Italy and Spain.
These new locations would help HNNMY gather more customers, while inviting customers from other locations as well because of the stores' exclusivity, boosting the company's growth prospects.
On February 1, ARKET announced its <a href="https://hmgroup.com/news/arket-to-open-first-store-in-poland/">plans to open its first store in Poland</a>.

Stock #1: Ralph Lauren Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/RL/">RL</a>)
For more than 50 years, RL has been a global leader in luxury lifestyle products, including apparel, footwear, accessories, home, fragrances, and hospitality. Its renowned brands, such as Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others, represent one of the most recognized families of consumer brands worldwide.
In the fiscal 2025 first quarter, the company reported stable momentum in its customer acquisition and loyalty, with <a href="https://investor.ralphlauren.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ralph-lauren-reports-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results-and">1.3 million new customers</a> in its direct-to-consumer business. The company also reported an overall growth in its net promoter scores and bolstered a low-teens increase in its social media followers of 60 million since last year.
As the company actively participates in gathering new and loyal customers and maintains a popular social media presence, its popularity is expected to go nowhere but up from here driving the company's growth.
Furthermore, RL opened eight new owned and partnered stores in the first quarter. The company also reported its newly renovated World of Ralph Lauren store on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, including its iconic RL restaurant and its first Ralph's Coffee shop in the Midwest.
