SOFIX (1 374.91, -0.76%) closed lower, weighed down by declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 68.00, -2.30%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.68, -2.13%), despite the absence of any negative surprises in the latest financial disclosures. On a broader base, Eleven Capital (...
Global macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges weighed on the Bulgarian economy over the past year, primarily through weaker external trade dynamics. Despite this, economic growth remained solid. Real GDP expanded by 2.8% in Q1, 3.5% in Q2, and 3.0% in Q3, supported almost entirely by strong domestic demand. Several factors underpinned this robust consumption growth with the most important being the growth of compensation and the euro transition effect. For 2026 the projections by major i...

All major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange advanced on Thursday, reflecting renewed buying interest following fresh corporate updates and strong financial results. The upcoming transition from BGN to EUR remained in focus, prompting investors more frequently to “halve” prices to gauge their euro-equivalent levels. SOFIX (1 095.44, +0.67%) led the advance with a fresh 18-year high, supported once again by the continued surge in Doverie (DUH, BGN 10.60, +6.21%), whose standalone strength ha...
The broad indexes BGBX40 (195.46, +0.16%) and BGTR30 (951.52, +0.14%) captured modest gains as retail investors reacted positively to the latest financial results from Telelink Business Services (TBS, BGN 9.85), easily pushing the stock up 16.38% amid a thin sell-side order book.

The Bulgarian equity market extended its midterm uptrend on Wednesday, despite the absence of major corporate catalysts or meaningful macro signals, with all key indexes adding to their recent gains. SOFIX (1 088.86) finished just a tick below its 18-year high, powered by a fresh advance in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.80, +4.42%), which remained the session’s standout performer.

Despite the enormous jump of Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.72, +10.97%), SOFIX 1069.02 (-0.29%) closed negative as all the other index members lost altitude or finished the day unchanged on Thursday.

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...
