Weekly bulletin - 22 July - 26 July 2024
The Bulgarian stock market ended the week mixed, lacking investor interest in the middle of the summer and trying to digest the outgoing corporate earnings data for the first half of the year. The benchmark SOFIX retreated 0.3% to settle at 862.25, while the broader ones - BGBX40 (169.60, -0.1%), BGTR30 (863.45, +0.6%) performed in opposite directions. The weekly volume (-66.8%) showed weak performance while the turnover (+46.6%) was pushed up by intense trade with bonds and generally illiquid names. The top gainers within our list of selected companies started with SOFIX members Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.75, +7.1%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.90, +6.1%), while M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 10.00, -6.5%) and the tech sector led by the blue chip Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 36.20, -2.9%) lost the most.
