Shares of Chinese e-commerce companies have had a great year so far.
Dangdang (DANG), a site that started as a Chinese bookseller but is transitioning to a peddler of all types of merchandise and media, has seen shares rise 35%. Vipshop (VIPS -0.44%), a company that offers flash sales on brand-name goods, has done even better, with shares up 135%.
But left behind in this run-up has been LightInTheBox (LITB -2.99%), an e-commerce company based in Mainland China, but with most of its customers coming from North America and Europe. Shares of the company are 27% lower than they were at the beginning of the year.
