The Bulgarian stock market showed a modest performance over the past week, with all major indexes ending nearly flat on Friday. The benchmark SOFIX edged up by 0.1% to close at 1 066.97, while the other key indexes also finished in positive territory, posting gains between 0.1% and 0.5%. Trading activity remained subdued, as block deals and bond trades contributed to a higher-than-average weekly turnover (+29.34%), despite a significant year-to-date decline in volumes (-71.9%).

The Bulgarian equities opened the shorter week on firmer footing, supported by broad-based buying.

SOFIX (1 065.52, -0.30%) was pressured by heavyweight Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.00, -3.35%), which posted wide intraday moves before settling with a steep loss. Gains in Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +2.73%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.70, +2.27%) helped cushion the decline. The broader indexes also retreated, with the BGBX40 (192.86, -0.32%) and BGTR30 (949.21, -0.48%) additionally dragged do...

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%).

The Bulgarian equity market shook off early weakness on Friday to close the week and the month on a positive note. Heavyweight Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 55.20, -3.83%) pressured the market in early trade, but upbeat financial results lifted sentiment in Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.65, +5.16%) and Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.30, +2.42%), helping major indexes reverse course. SOFIX (1 081.60, +0.45%) rose for a second straight session, marking another fresh 18-year high. The real estate sector also ...

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.

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...
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...
Bulgarian stocks were little changed in Thursday’s quiet session with light volumes keeping the main indexes flat. SOFIX slipped 0.05% to 1 043.42, with turnover at just 14% of the 3-month average. Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, +2.13%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.00, -1.90%) led the individual movers. Broader indexes BGBX40 (191.49, -0.04%) and BGTR30 (951.34, -0.04%) were also marginally lower, as losses in Bulmetal (BMTL, BGN 9.10, -2.15%) offset gains in Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, B...
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%).

The Bulgarian stock market edged slightly lower last week, as investor activity did not improve and there was no clear point for the market during ongoing summer season. The benchmark SOFIX retreated 0.2% to settle at 1023.43, as the broad ones- BGBX40 (188.48, -0.2%) and BGTR30 (938.83, -0.3%) performed the same. The weekly volume (-68.5%) showed weak performance, while the turnover (+50.7%) was pushed up by intense trade with bonds and some particular positions. The top gainers within our list...
A buying interest in Sopharma (SFA, BGN 7.20, +2.86%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.715, +2.14%) balanced the negative moves of Shelly (SLYG, EUR 47.90, -2.64%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.10, -2.15%). As a result, SOFIX (1025.22) finished the session unchanged on the first trading day of the week. Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.26, -2.59%), M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 9.60, -3.03%), and Speedy (SPDY, BGN 187.00, -7.43%) weighed on the broad indexes and BGBX40 (188.01, -0.42%) and BGTR30 (937.32, -0...
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 real estate sector led Thursday’s gains on the local stock exchange with Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.95, +2.08%) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.94, +2.07%) acting as key drivers. Their performance supported broad-based growth across all major indexes, which closed higher in a range between 0.46% and 1.35%. SOFIX added 0.53% to reach 1 013.89 points, supported by gains in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 49.40, +0.61%). Meanwhile, the broader indexes also advanced: BGBX40 rose 0.46% to...
