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%). Gradus (GR6, BGN ...
The Bulgarian equities opened the shorter week on firmer footing, supported by broad-based buying. All major indexes gained between 0.13% and 0.47%, with advancers outnumbering decliners by a 7-to-5 margin. SOFIX was boosted by Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.85, +3.14%), alongside strength in Elana Agrocredit (EAC, BGN 1.06, +1.92%), which rejoined the index, and Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.96, +1.37%). Additional gains in Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 10.10, +3.06%) and Speedy (SPDY, BG...
Bulgarian equities closed lower on Friday after a volatile session marked by sharp price swings. 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 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 opened the week with sharp, broad-based moves that ultimately left the major indexes mixed. SOFIX (1 081.68, +0.01%) and BGBX40 (196.10, +0.26%) edged higher as gains in heavyweights Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.67, +0.75%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 55.60, +0.72%) offset losses in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.28, -2.58%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.37, -2.14%). By contrast, the BGTR30 (959.71, -0.11%) and BGREIT (230.73, -0.36%) slipped, dragged down by weakness in Neo...
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 ...
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...
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...
Slight decrease of SOFIX (1 039.68, -0.07%) reflected the drop of Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.20, -2.63%), Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.725, -2.03%) and Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.42, -1.39%) on Monday. Support for the main index came from Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.65, +1.80%) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.15, +0.98%). Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.44, -0.41%) registered BGN 1.92m daily turnover as a block trade with 770k shares was registered at BGN 2.43.
Moderate performance in Q2 reports published last week waned investors sentiment. Local indexes remained unchanged despite the increased weekly turnover (BGN 52.5m) mainly registered by block trades. Huge opposite moves of SOFIX members fixed the main index at 1040.37 (-0.1) as Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 48.60, -1.8%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.10, -1.9%) and CB Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.71, -1.7%) wiped out the positive moves of Wiser Technology (WISR, BGN 5.55, +2.8%), Ch...
Selling pressure in key constituents Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.715, -2.05%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.44, -0.41%) nudged the SOFIX slightly lower by 0.03% to 1 042.97 on Wednesday. In contrast, the broader indexes outperformed, supported by gains in M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 10.20, +2.51%) and Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.30, +5.08%). The BGBX40 rose 0.21% to 192.00, while the BGTR30 added 0.19% to 951.29. Turnover remained well above average, driven in part by activity in less frequently traded st...
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...
Huge selling pressure on Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.50) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20) settled both companies unchanged on Friday. SOFIX 1041.64 (-0.17%) slightly retreated on the ground of moderate daily turnover. Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.43, -1.22%) ceased its positive wave during the week after the release of the new dividend shares for trading. Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.43, -0.69%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.00, -0.55%) also weighed on the main index by losing altitude wit...
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%). Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...
The past week was negative for the major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, with SOFIX (1 043.55) recording the largest decline, down 1.0%.

On a positive note, Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.10, +2.41%) was among the top gainers, helping the BGREIT index to edge up by 0.21% to 229.95. Overall trading activity weakened, with volumes s...
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...
The Bulgarian equity market finished on a weak note on Thursday as trading activity remaining narrowly ranged with lower volumes. The main indexes ended in negative territory with declines ranging from -0.30% to -0.48%.

Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.10, -4.67%), Smart Organic (SO, BGN 32.00, -3.61%) and Agria Group (AGH, BGN 20.00, -3.85%) topped the laggards lis...
