Morning Bulletin - 19 January 2025

The final trading day of the second full week since the adoption of the euro saw the Bulgarian Stock Exchange extend its sharp uptrend, with positive momentum driven primarily by large-cap names within the benchmark index. Friday’s session was once again led by the financial and technology sectors, represented by Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, EUR 1.69, +9.03%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.76, +4.16%), alongside Wiser Technologies (WISR, EUR 2.80, +6.06%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 63.80, +0.95%). SOFIX (1 405.09, +1.37%) has advanced 21.50% since the beginning of the year, rewriting its 18-year high on a daily basis. Some names retreated - Smart Organic (SO, EUR 18.00, -3.74%) and Odessos (ODES, EUR 141.00, -3.42%) - as investors positioned ahead of upcoming financial disclosures, while Sopharma (SFA, EUR 1.985, +1.02%) and Doverie (DUH, EUR 8.34, +1.21%) remained on an upward path. Daily turnover confirmed the constructive market sentiment, exceeding the 3-month average.
