Weekly bulletin - 19 February - 23 February 2024
The Bulgarian stock exchange indexes closed the week flat on Friday with the exception of sector BGREIT, which gained 1.4% to close at 192.11, supported by the strong Friday movement of Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 2.64, +2.3%). The performance of the benchmark SOFIX (785.45, 0.00%) reflected the lack of fresh investors’ enthusiasm on the market. A total of 10 out of 29 names in our universe finished on green territory last week, 14 remained on the red side. The weekly top performers within the list were Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.70, +17.2%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 2.86, +5.1%), while Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 10.20, -5.6%) and Monbat (MONB, BGN 3.60, -4.8%) lost the most. Both the volume and the turnover performed well, exceeding the YTD averages by 255% and 215%, respectively, mainly due to big trades with Gradus.
