The Bulgarian equity market bent under selling pressure on Thursday, as weakness in several standalone names pulled the major indexes into negative territory. Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 4.52, -4.24%) and Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.62, -2.60%) led the declines, weighing broadly on sentiment. At the same time, Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.72, +1.12%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.72, +0.58%) attracted renewed interest after their latest financial results outperformed expectations. Both names were amo...

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%).

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.

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.
