The world trade war and slowdown fear overshadowed Bulgarian equity market and the major indexes registered significant declines on Friday. SOFIX (879.39) fell by 2.56%, slipping to levels from a year ago as the decliners led the advancers by 12 to 1 margin. BGBX40 (169.68, -2.36%) and BGTR30 (863.62, -1.76%) booked losses too though the main effect came from the large cap names. The volumes were tangibly higher as the 3-months average base was multiplied within the benchmark index. Shelly (SLYG...
Moderate increase of the weekly turnover did not bring significant price change as SOFIX 910.69 added 0.4% w-o-w while all the other indexes finished the week without change. Absence of corporate news and poor liquidity left a room for speculative trades with big daily fluctuations and insignificant volumes. Risk appetite raised Agria Group Holding (AGH, BGN 22.8, +5.3%) to the top place of the weekly gainers while profit taking placed Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.13, -7.4%) among the top weekly losers. N...
The Bulgarian equity market trades were registered mainly on the bid side on Wednesday. The main indexes closed mixed as SOFIX (901.66, -0.57%) reflected fully the daily activity with volumes concentrated in it. The negative bias came from Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.65, -2.55%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.00, -3.85%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.72, -1.37%) as the names led the top losers’ list, while the positive price actions with Agria Group (AGH, BGN 23.00, +2.68%), Neochim (...
The wave of buying interest slowly gained speed on Tuesday and settled the major indexes on the positive side. Sirma Group (SGH, 1.07, +7.00%) led the advancers list once again and boosted SOFIX (899.92, +0.25%) close to psychological level of 900 point. Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 15.20, +2.70%) and M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 9.45, +2.72%) supported the broad indexes BGTR30 (871.17, +0.43%) and BGBX40 (172.24, +0.22%). The daily volume improved moderately too as more names participated in the trading...
The Bulgarian stock market remained volatile over the past week, as the benchmark SOFIX dropped 0.8% and all other major indexes closed down, ranging from -0.5% to -1.4%. The trading activity was weak, as block deals with some unpopular names boosted the volumes (+105.1% YTD) and the turnover (+51.6% YTD) higher than average numbers. The worst performer in our list of selected securities was Telelink Business Services Group (TBS, BGN 9.65, -12.3%), followed by SOFIX members Agria Group (AGH, BGN...
For a third consecutive trading session SOFIX (896.93, -0.62%) lost ground reflecting the drop of Agria Group Holding (AGH, BGN 20.90, -5.00%) after it was announced that the company will leave the main index. Financial and tech sector also closed in the red zone as Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.64, -4.09%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.86, -3.50%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 35.50, -1.93%) suffered from selling pressure on Tuesday. Daily gainer Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.9...
The Bulgarian stock market ended the week with no clear direction, while the global markets remained on a volatile note, with investors increasingly concerned on heightened US policy uncertainty. The leading local benchmark SOFIX lost 0.1% to settle at 903.11, as all other major indexes kept to tighter range from 0.0% to 0.5%. An activated share buyback procedure by Telelink Business Services Group (TBS, BGN 11.00, +11.7%) put the name of the company on the top of the gainers in our list of sele...
The Bulgarian equity market logged gains across the board on Wednesday with fresh record highs for the main indexes. SOFIX (907.14) rose by 1.49%, while BGBX40 (172.90) and BGTR30 (872.09) jumped by 0.81% and 0.67%, respectively. The buying interest in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.95, +3.25%), Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.75, +4.17%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 26.40,+2.33%) after the positive financial data exceeded the 3-months average turnover and attracted more activity around the indexes’...
The Bulgarian market started the shorter working week on a downbeat note following the world economy sentiment. The decliners led the advancers by 2-to-1 margin, which settled the main indexes on negative territory. SOFIX (893.80) underperformed the most by 1.16% as the heavy Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 36.50, -2.67%), Sopharma (SFA, BGN 5.74, -1.71%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.68, -3.16%) met the selling pressure below the current market levels. Positive consolidated financial data gave ...
The Bulgarian market had a rough showing on Friday though the initial selling pressure in the early hours was replaced by more optimistic price actions at the end on the session. The major indexes settled mixed as Agria Group (AGH, BGN 20.40, -2.86%) and the heavy member Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 37.50, -0.53%) weighed on the indexes, while M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 9.35, +2.19%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 26.20, +2.34%) recovered the losses on the opposite side. SOFIX (904.25, -0.13%) slipped below...
The Bulgarian market had a mixed showing on Tuesday, though the major indexes were traded below the prior closing levels during the session. There wasn’t a lot of conviction neither from the buyers nor the sellers and the choppy price actions with First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.86, -3.50%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, +2.94%) settled SOFIX (894.95) 0.13% lower. Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.16, -1.42%), Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 35.80, +1.42%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 5.76, -0.35%) p...
The Bulgarian stock market continued the modest rise during the past trading week, while global shares performed mixed on worries of a possible global trade war. The local benchmark SOFIX added 0.2% to settle at 894.30 and the broader BGBX40 (172.15, +0.7%) and BGTR30 (861.81, +0.3%) moved similarly. One industrial and one technology blue chips were the top gainers within our list of selected companies – M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 9.45, +5.0%) and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.05, +3.90%). Indust...
The week started with some selling pressure on the Bulgarian market. SOFIX (885.74) traded down 0.74% as the negative bias came from Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.695, -2.11%), Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.62, -4.14%) and Sopharma Trading (SFT, BGN 5.60, -2.61%), though the volumes were low. The lower finish was also influenced by manufacturer Neochim (NEOH, BGN 25.00,-6.02%) and impacted by retail trades with Synergon Holding (SNRG, BGN 1.03, -6.36%). There were some pockets of buying interes...
It looks like DeepSeek news caused ebb to the trading activity on Bulgarian market and left light volumes trades to define the positive outcome for the main indexes in Tuesday’s session. SOFIX (889.45) advanced 0.18% as the upside actions were led by Elana Agrocredit (EAC, BGN 1.10, +2.80%) and Agria Group (AGH, BGN 19.50, +1.30%). Smart Organic (SO, BGN 22.80, +1.79%) and EMKA (EMKA, BGN 2.08, +2.97%) added some power to BGBX40 (171.56, +0.07%) and BGTR30 (857.71, +0.03%), which absorbed the ne...
All indexes on the BSE retraced during the last week with the blue-chip SOFIX falling the least (887.56, -0.3%), while the broader BGTR30 dropped the most (854.80, -0.8%). The gainers within out watchlist were led by Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 8.06, +3.3%), which rose on the news of record profits of its subsidiary Moldindconbank. On the other hand, Wiser Technology (WISR, BGN 4.80, -5.9%) and Neochim (NEOH, BGN 27.20, -4.2%) dropped the most. Both the volumes (+114.2% YtD average) and the...
A positive reaction to the latest financial data from the Moldavian Bank, the main subsidiary of Doverie (DUH, BGN 8.18, +4.87%) and increased buying interest in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.32, +1.89%) were the engine of this otherwise quiet first session of the week. The major indexes settled mixed as SOFIX (892.69) advanced by 0.27%, while BGBX40 (171.84, +0.08%) and BGTR30 (861.31, -0.05%) remained almost unchanged as the negative bias from Texim Bank (TXIM, BGN 3.60, -2.70%) and Sophar...

The broader BGBX40 (171.79, +0.0%) and BGTR30 (865.04, +0.2%) kept to a tighter range.

The Bulgarian market was in retreat mode on Friday, following sell-off of the heavy member Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 34.00, -2.58%) as well as Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.20, -2.63%) and BG Agro (BGAG, BGN 1.06, -8.62%). SOFIX (889.27) plunged 1.68% during the session, reflecting low-volume trade with Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.92, 0.00%) on the bid side, but late-hour trade covered the decrease and the benchmark booked 0.25% loss. The activity was broadly based with volumes close to 15-days ave...
The major indexes traded slightly higher on Wednesday, reflecting carryover upside momentum to build on recent gains. Buying efforts continued to move Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.69) ahead by fresh 2.42% increase, which in combination with Bulgarian Stock Exchange’s (BSE, BGN 7.95, +1.27%) and First Investment Bank’s (FIB, BGN 3.90, +0.52%) advance led the indexes to positive territory with SOFIX (862.47, +0.29%) on top.
