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. Strength across the producers’ segment, most notably Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, BGN 5.10, +2.82%) ...
Bulgarian stock market closed the week a little bit lower, as the local Benchmark SOFIX lost 0.6% to settle at 1068.06, all the other major indexes closed ranging from -0.7% to 0.0%. No visible improvement in investors’ sentiment was observed after the release of the last financial reports for the 3rd quarter, leaving the market subdued and lacking strong catalyst. The significant improvement in both weekly volumes (+285.5% YTD) and turnover (+148.6% YTD) came mainly from block trades with capit...
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. Poor financial performance in Q3 of Smart Organic (SO, BGN 28.00, -2.78%) disappointed investors and the company dropped without significant daily volume while huge selling pressure weighed on Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.50, -1.87%), Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.28, -1.90%) and Advance Ter...
It was a mixed session on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange on Tuesday, with the main indexes ending flat amid opposing moves across key equities. SOFIX (1 069.43, 0.00%) closed unchanged as a 3.59% rise in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.20, +3.59%), following the publication of the agenda for its upcoming extraordinary general meeting, offset declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.60, -0.38%), Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.90, -1.02%), and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.70, -0.93%). The b...
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 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 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 Bulgarian equity market advanced on Tuesday, led by heavyweight Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.80, +2.28%) and Holding Varna (HVAR, BGN 47.40, +1.72%). Broader support came from light-volume gains in EMKA (EMKA, BGN 1.99, +2.58%), Speedy (SPDY, BGN 198.00, +3.13%), and Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.70, +2.11%), lifting BGBX40 (193.90, +0.69%) and BGTR30 (958.39, +0.35%). Turnover surged in the session, boosted by a significant block trade in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.35, -0.53%). Sec...
The Bulgarian stock market closed in positive territory on Friday, with gains ranging from 0.06% to 0.33%. The benchmark SOFIX index rose the most, ending at 1 053.95 points, driven by strong performances of Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.00, +2.77%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.40, +1.29%). On the downside, the negative impact came from heavy names like Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.735, -1.34%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.46, -0.81%). SOFIX daily turnover increased, with liquidity largely driven by tradin...
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...
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...
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 equity market saw some sharp moves in the first day of the week but finally the main indexes finished with losses as the exception was BGREIT (220.53, +0.21%) supported by Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.83, +1.07%). The tech sector, represented by Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.10, -2.19%), Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.25, -2.78%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.37, -1.44%) met some profit taking action from the retail. The daily volumes barely reached 60% of the 3-months average though the t...
The Bulgarian stock market closed the last week on a positive note with the exception of the sector index BGREIT (219.49, -0.6%). The benchmark SOFIX (999.39) was the top gainer with 1.8% rise, reflecting the impressive performance of the index members Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.55, +11.0%), Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.0, +5.9 %) and high-tech blue chip Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 45.70, +5.3%). Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.34, -6.4%) was the top loser on our list of selected securities, as ...
SOFIX (999.39, +0.58%) closed a few ticks away from the psychological level of 1000, something we haven’t witnessed since 2008. The excellent Q1 financial results raised Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.00, +3.45%) while Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.46, +2.10%) jumped on the back of buy-back buying power. Ex-dividend date weighed on Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.92, -2.01%) while Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.20, -2.50%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.10, -1.54%) suffered from small spe...
Thursday session had a positive bias on Bulgarian Stock Exchange as the A-D line favoured the advancers in all major indexes. The buying activity was modest but on a broad base as Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.43, +4.38%), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.40, +3.30%), Sopharma Trading (SFT, BGN 5.80, +2.65%) and Compensatory Instruments (BLKD, BGN 0.424, +3.41%) led the movers. SOFIX (993.65) almost erased previous session losses by registering 0.62% gain, while the broad indexes BGBX40 (185.16, +...
The Bulgarian stocks marked a positive week, while the global markets suffered pullbacks and volatility, as new threats were tapping the brakes on investor optimism. The local benchmark SOFIX added 2.6% to settle at 981.32 and the broader BGBX40 (183.32, +1.7%) and BGTR30 (922.11, +2.6%) moved similar. Three SOFIX members were the top gainers in our list of selected securities – the technology blue chips Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.43, +19.2%) and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.35, +7.4%) a...
The Bulgarian equity market finished a volatile session on firmly higher note with SOFIX (995.81, +1.45%) on its way to 1000 points, followed by BGBX40 (185.17, +1.01%) and BGTR30 (926.39, +0.46%) in the first trading day of the week. Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.30, +8.14%), Shelly (SLYG, EUR 46.00, +5.99%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 6.68, +2.14%) began on a high note and steady added to their gains as the session carried on, though Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.40) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 32....
