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...

The positive bias driving previous day’s gains weakened and the main indexes booked smaller positive moves on Thursday. SOFIX (601.42) added 0.12% and continued to float between its 200 and 100-day MA as the current holiday trading conditions triggered additional buying interest. First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 1.99) led the gainers in this session by 4.74% advance as P/E of 2.7x attracted more investors to the stock. Neochim (NEOH, BGN 42.00, +3.45%) followed but the result came from small trad...

The released Q2 financial data triggered the interest in the latest sessions as top gainer in our watchlist Alcomet (ALCM, BGN 8.10, +14.9%) announced 64.7% surge of revenue YoY, while the less than expected revenue of Neochim (NEOH, BGN 41.00) turned to 15.6% weekly loss.

The Bulgarian stock market ended on a low note on Thursday for second day in a row, ranging from -0.41% to -0.13%. BGREIT (186.44) alone advanced 0.60%, benefiting from the advance of the real estate sector. 9 out of 15 members of the benchmark index registered declines in this trading session as the lack of fresh offers widened the bid/ask spreads, causing slight increase in the volatility. The volumes finished a note higher but still far from the 15-days average.
