Weekly bulletin - 24 February - 28 February 2025

The Bulgarian stock market finished the last week on an upbeat mode, while the world markets continued to struggle, because of growth concerns and elevating geopolitical and economic uncertainty. The leading local index SOFIX added 1.3% to close at 904.25, as the broad ones – BGBX40 (172.76, +0.86%), BGTR30 (868.74, +0.8%) followed the benchmark. The IT blue chip Telelink Business Services (TBS, BGN 9.85, +4.8%) became the top gainer within our list of selected companies, followed by SOFIX members Eurohold Bulgaria (EUBG, BGN 1.90, +4.4%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.73, +3.0%). The industrial Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.58, -5.1%) and Neochim (NEOH, BGN 23.60, -3.3%) lost the most. Block trades with Eurohold and other not so popular names like Kauchuk (KAU, BGN 47.00, +26.34%) boosted both the weekly volumes (+71.4% YTD) and turnover (+81.2% YTD) higher.
