The announcement of a US-EU trade deal failed to lift sentiment on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, as investors remained largely in wait-and-see mode. SOFIX slipped 0.29% to 1 038.57, weighed down by losses in Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.42, -0.41%) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.05, -2.88%). Trading activity centered around companies linked to Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.73, 0.00%), including Holding Varna (HVAR, BGN 47.20, 0.00%), Balkan and Sea Properties (BSP, BGN 24.20, 0.00%), and Syntheti...
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...
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 equity market ended Wednesday’s session on a positive note, led by strong performance from Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 48.90, +2.30%), following the release of robust H1 preliminary results.

The Bulgarian equity market trades were registered mainly on the bid side on Wednesday. The main indexes closed mixed as SOFIX (901.66, -0.57%) reflected fully the daily activity with volumes concentrated in it. The negative bias came from Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.65, -2.55%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.00, -3.85%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.72, -1.37%) as the names led the top losers’ list, while the positive price actions with Agria Group (AGH, BGN 23.00, +2.68%), Neochim (...
The major equity indexes rebounded on Tuesday and totally erased previous session losses on BSE. The positive price actions pushed up SOFIX (906.87) modestly by 0.45%, driven by the gains of Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.85, +2.61%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.16, +4.00%). There was negative bias under the broad indexes surface in names like Neochim (NEOH, BGN 24.00, -4.00%), Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.64, -1.49%) and Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.15, -1.71%), which limited the daily gains for BG...
The Bulgarian equity market had some mixed showing on Wednesday, though the trading activity was concentrated more on current market levels, while the light volume trades dictated the direction.

For a second consecutive trading day SOFIX (838.02, -0.57%) lost altitude under the selling pressure on most heavy members. First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.48, -7.45%), Agria (AGH, BGN 19.20, -2.04%) and Elana Agrocredit (EAC, BGN 1.06, -1.85%) weighed on the main index. Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.05, -0.94%) and Shelly (SLYG, EUR 32.90, -0.60%) confirmed their negative trend from the last weeks and huge selling pressure lowered both names on Tuesday.

Half of the benchmark constituents booked t...
The Bulgarian stock market ended the week mixed, lacking investor interest in the middle of the summer and trying to digest the outgoing corporate earnings data for the first half of the year. The benchmark SOFIX retreated 0.3% to settle at 862.25, while the broader ones - BGBX40 (169.60, -0.1%), BGTR30 (863.45, +0.6%) performed in opposite directions. The weekly volume (-66.8%) showed weak performance while the turnover (+46.6%) was pushed up by intense trade with bonds and generally illiquid n...

Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.725, -2.03%), Sopharma (SFA, BGN 5.80, -1.69%) and Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.50, -0.66) pulled back the main index on the ground of poor daily volume.
It was a quiet Wednesday session with mixed actions and poor volumes on narrow base. All major indexes settled on the positive side as the solid jump of top-weighted Sopharma (SFA, BGN 6.04, +3.07%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, BGN 69.00, +0.88%) provided the positive bias despite that the decliners advancers line was in equilibrium. A block trade with Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.65) was registered without change in the price and impacted the daily turnover statistic, which otherwise reached...

Gainers from the previous day retreated on Wednesday as profit taking pushed down First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 2.52, -3.08%) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 2.60, -0.76%). The heavy member Shelly Group (SLYG, BGN 68.20, -1.16%) suffered from low liquidity and speculative trades and closed negative. Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.704, +2.33%), M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 10.70, +1.90%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 6.36, +1.27%) supported the main index and SOFIX (811.35, +0.26%) finished the day gree...
The major indexes closed mixed on Friday as the results came from large cap names.

The Bulgarian equity market ticked higher last week, with all major indexes registering gains in a range between 0.5% and 0.9%. SOFIX (610.43) continued to move in a narrow range within its major MA and added 0.9% on a weekly basis, extending its year-to-date raise to 1.50%. The advance-decline line favoured advancers by 13-to-11 margin on our watchlist despite the lowered Bulgaria’s GDP growth forecast to 1.5% in 2023 by the World Bank. The weekly volumes slightly improved compared to average w...
