    "Shein entered Hong Kong’s newly listed securities ledger on 1 September 2026 under the short name “SHEIN-W” and stock code 00625 [E1]. The row identifies the corporate action as “New Listing” and sets the board lot at 100 shares [E1]. Its date carries no asterisk [E1].",
    "HKEX defines an asterisk on that register as a tentative date of listing or trading [E2]. Shein’s unmarked line records 1 September without that tentative-date warning [E1][E2]. That status settles the first-trade clock at yes [E1][E2].",
    "The same row carries four market-status marks: admission to CCASS, eligibility for short selling, liability for Hong Kong stamp duty, and inclusion in the pre-opening and closing-auction sessions [E1]. Those marks place 00625 inside the exchange’s settlement and session machinery on its dated listing line [E1]. The code had entered the machinery of the market [E1].",
    "A prospectus timetable describes what an issuer expects to happen. The exchange page is a current two-week register of newly listed or traded securities [E1]. By the 1 September cutoff, Shein appeared in that register under 00625 [E1].",
    "The register carries no fields for Shein’s offer price, opening print, intraday low, intraday high, or official close [E1]. It cannot establish whether first-day trades stood above or below the issue level [E1]. No official closing price appears there against which an off-venue or dark-pool print could be tested [E1].",
    "Another 1 September filing supplies no Shein price evidence [E3]. The PDF is headed “BYD COMPANY LIMITED,” gives BYD’s stock codes 01211 and 81211, and announces production and sales volumes for August 2026 [E3]. It contains no Shein issue price or first-day trading path [E3]. Using it for 00625 would attach BYD’s operating filing to Shein’s debut [E3].",
    "Shein’s exchange entry leaves an exact, narrow story. SHEIN-W appeared under 00625 as a new listing dated 1 September, with no tentative-date mark [E1][E2]. Its issue price and official close remain unverified in these documents [E1][E3]. The clock stopped when 00625 printed in the ledger [E1]."
