The Bulgarian equity market delivered a mixed performance during the first week of September, as investors’ sentiment remained subdued and lacked a strong catalyst to drive a more decisive market direction. The benchmark SOFIX index edged up by 0.4%, closing at 1 085.72 points, while all the other major indices moved within a narrow range, between +0.1% and -0.4%. The top performer among the tracked stocks was Stara Planina Hold (SPH), which gained 4.2% to BGN 10.00. Sopharma (SFA) – a SOFIX con...
The Bulgarian equity market traded mostly on the bid side, with all major indexes closing in positive territory. The upward momentum was driven by heavyweight Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.73, +1.49%), further supported by Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.73, +1.39%). These gains offset declines in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.18, -2.63%), Hydraulic Elements & Systems (HES, BGN 4.90, -3.92%), and Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.00, -3.85%). Daily volumes remained subdued compared to the 3-month average on a benchmark bas...
The Bulgarian equity market extended its advance on Thursday, driving SOFIX (1 076.80) to an 18-year high. The broader indexes also gained ground, with the BGBX40 up 0.49% to 195.06 and the BGTR30 adding 0.33% to 959.01. Strong opening momentum in Shelly (SLYG, EUR 57.40, +2.87%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.90, +4.76%) set the tone, followed by steady gains in heavyweight Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.52, +0.80%), which anchored the market in positive territory. Turnover, however, remained s...
Retail investors and speculators rule the trading and SOFIX 1 068.10 (-0.06) fluctuated without significant daily volume on Wednesday. Heavy Shelly (SLYG, EUR 55.80, -2.11%) and Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.60, -1.75%) retreated during the day as bid/ask spreads of both companies remained 3-5% wide. Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.50, +0.81%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.42, +2.65%) supported the main index without corporate news, while moderated financial performance of Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.38, ...
A block trade and positive sentiment in the end of the trading session lifted Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, +1.96%) while speculative trades fixed Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.35, +0.54%) and Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.85, +0.54%) positive. SOFIX (1 068.73) remained unchanged due to the south move of tech companies Shelly (SLYG, EUR 57.00, -0.70%) and Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.36, -1.45%). Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.725, -2.68%) also plunged on Tuesday on the back of speculat...
The Bulgarian equity market extended its decline on Thursday, with SOFIX (1 052.98, -0.72%) posting the steepest loss among the main indexes. Technology names weighed heavily, led by weakness in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.60, -2.19%) and Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.35, -2.88%). The pullback mirrored the softer global tone and was largely driven by large-cap stocks, while much of the broader market remained flat or inactive. Turnover was thin, with daily volumes at just 39% of the three-month...
Negative sentiment weighed on all local indexes on Wednesday. BGREIT (230.35, -0.54%) slipped the most as the drop of Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, -2.80%) erased the positive move of Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.97, +0.34%). SOFIX (1 060.63, -0.10%) barely survived the selling pressure among most of the index members. The support for the main index came from Shelly (SLYG, EUR 54.80, +1.86%), Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.00, +0.92%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1....
Weekly turnover of BGN 32m doubled last week compared to the average YTD, while almost all local indexes remained unchanged except BGREIT 323.91 (+0.8%), which registered an insignificant positive move. Vacation season and the forthcoming release of H1 financial reports restrained investors’ activity, while the block trades and cash management ruled the trading. This week we will be closely monitoring the financial reports that are due to be published by Thursday, especially the industrial compa...
A mixed trading session fixed SOFIX (1 045.48, +0.18%) positive. The north moves of Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.90, +2.46%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, +0.97%) and Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +0.89%) offset the negative impact of Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.15, -2.83%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.06, -1.17%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.74, -1.33%). Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...
Green color and huge weekly turnover set SOFIX at 1025.22 (+1.8%) – level we haven’t seen since September 2008. Weekly turnover tripled and reached BGN 44m., compared to the average one YTD of BGN 15.6m. Main distributors for the increased volume were Doverie Unted Holding’s buy-back and Sopharma’s sales of its treasury shares. The week was highlighted also by the first IPO this year of Green Innovation which raised almost BGN 8m. on Tuesday.
The Bulgarian benchmark index SOFIX climbed 1.12% to 1025.22, reaching a record 16-year high on the final trading day of the week. The rise was driven by strong performances from Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.94, +2.23%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 7.00, +6.06%). Meanwhile Neochim (NEOH, BGN 22.00, -2.65%) and Albena (ALB, BGN 26.20, -2.96%) traded lightly and curbed the broader market’s momentum. As a result, BGBX40 and BGTR30 posted modest gains of 1.17% (188.81) and 0.76% (942.08), respe...
The Bulgarian equity market traded on a positive note throughout Tuesday’s session and the major indexes settled with gains in range between 0.09% and 0.21% while BGREIT (220.06, -0.21%) was an exception once again, following Advance Terrafund’s (ATER, BGN 2.80) slip by 1.06%. The positive bias came from names like Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.41, +2.92%), Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 15.50, +2.65%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.71, +3.65%). The volumes remained low compared to 3-month average as the inves...
The Bulgarian equity market saw some sharp moves in the first day of the week but finally the main indexes finished with losses as the exception was BGREIT (220.53, +0.21%) supported by Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.83, +1.07%). The tech sector, represented by Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.10, -2.19%), Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.25, -2.78%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.37, -1.44%) met some profit taking action from the retail. The daily volumes barely reached 60% of the 3-months average though the t...
The main indexes on the BSE retreated last week with the exception of BGREIT (221.17; +0.6% WoW). The blue-chip SOFIX (1006.98) lost 0.6%, while the wider BGBX40 lost the most (187.06; -0.7% WoW). The top gainer within our universe was Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.88, +4.7%), while Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 47.5, -4.8%) and Telematic Interactive Bulgaria (TIB, BGN 21.60, -4.4%) lost the most. Both the volumes (+123.1% YtD) and the weekly turnover (+156.2% YtD) were well above their YtD ...
The Bulgarian equity market finished strong on Tuesday, leaving the major indexes at fresh record highs. The broad base buying activity left SOFIX (1 017.91) with 0.89% gain, followed by BGBX40 (189.33, +0.69%) and BGTR30 (941.90, +0.44%). Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.90, +6.06%) and the heavy-weighted Sopharma (SFA, BGN 6.68, +3.73%) and Shelly (SLYG, EUR 50.80, +2.01%) attracted the most investors focus with higher than 3-month average volume. Doverie (DUH, BGN 9.14, -0.87%), Advanc...
The Bulgarian stock market continued the positive trend during the past week, as all major indexes closed on green, ranging from 0.1% to 1.4%. The benchmark SOFIX added 1.4% to settle at 1012.91, reflecting the impressive performance of the index members Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.28, +5.2%) and the powerhouse Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 49.90, +9.2%). The top gainer within our list of selected companies was industrial Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.10, +11.0%), while the red side started wi...
For a third consecutive trading session SOFIX (1007.26, +0.79%) gained altitude and crossed the resistant level of 1000. Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.54, +5.48%) and Shelly (SLYG, BGN 46.90, +2.96%) flew over the day while the most traded name Sopharma (SFA, BGN 6.76, +0.30%) moved slightly North registering a few block trades. Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.90, -0.68%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.50, -0.52%) booked negative trading days and slipped with insignificant daily volum...
SOFIX (999.39, +0.58%) closed a few ticks away from the psychological level of 1000, something we haven’t witnessed since 2008. The excellent Q1 financial results raised Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.00, +3.45%) while Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.46, +2.10%) jumped on the back of buy-back buying power. Ex-dividend date weighed on Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.92, -2.01%) while Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.20, -2.50%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.10, -1.54%) suffered from small spe...
The Bulgarian stocks marked a positive week, while the global markets suffered pullbacks and volatility, as new threats were tapping the brakes on investor optimism. The local benchmark SOFIX added 2.6% to settle at 981.32 and the broader BGBX40 (183.32, +1.7%) and BGTR30 (922.11, +2.6%) moved similar. Three SOFIX members were the top gainers in our list of selected securities – the technology blue chips Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.43, +19.2%) and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.35, +7.4%) a...
SOFIX (987.54, -0.83%) lost altitude as most index members closed in the red zone on Wednesday. Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31,00, -3.13%), Shelly (SLYG, BGN 45,00, -2.17%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.10, -2.15%) suffered from selling pressure and weighed on the main index. Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 8.68, +0.23%) was the only SOFIX member that closed positive but registered insignificant daily turnover. BGREIT (219.07, -0.97%) also stepped bаck, reflecting the drop of Sopharma Bui...
