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...
Huge opposite move of SOFIX (1 051.29, -0.12%) members fixed the main index almost unchanged on Wednesday. Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.85, +3.54%) registered large move with insignificant daily turnover, which was fully offset by the step back of Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, -1.89%), Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.38, -1.43%) and the heavy member Shelly (SLYG, EUR 50.60, -0.39%). All other indexes lost altitude but BGREIT (232.60, -0.53%) lost the most, reflecting the negative move of mai...
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...
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...
The past week was negative for the major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, with SOFIX (1 043.55) recording the largest decline, down 1.0%. Key underperformers from our watchlist that dragged the indexes lower included Neochim (NEOH, BGN 20.00, -7.4%), Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.00, -7.2%), and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.49, -4.2%). In contrast, BGREIT (231.04) edged up by 0.05%, supported by gains in its heaviest constituents – Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 3.00, +0.7%) and Bulgarian Real Es...
The Bulgarian Stock Exchange indexes weakened on Tuesday, with SOFIX slipping by 0.38% to close at 1 053.22. Over two-thirds of the benchmark turnover came from Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.60, -2.26%) as the stock price suffered increased selling pressure. The top performer within SOFIX was Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.74, +3.57%), while Sopharma (SFA), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.00, -1.10%) and Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.40, -0.88%) lost the most. The broader indices also pos...
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 did not manage to find support during the past week and indexes finished the week mainly on the red side, as the benchmark SOFIX (1007.57, +0.1%) was the only one in green. Three index members – Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 50.20, +5.7%), Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.40, +1.9%) and Sopharma Trading (SFT, BGN 5.80, +0.9%) were on the top of the gainers within our list of selected securities. On the other side, Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -5.0%) and Alcomet (ALCM, BGN 5.95, -4.8%) lost t...
Poor trading activity marked the first trading day of the week. The major indexes trended lower from the opening bell as the decliners led the advancers in roughly 4-to-3 margin. Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +4.63%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, +1.41%) led the gainers in this trading session, while Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.30, -2.11%) and Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -5.00%) ended on the opposite side. The daily volumes slipped significantly below the 15-day average as the ...
The main indexes on the BSE retreated last week with the exception of BGREIT (221.17; +0.6% WoW). The blue-chip SOFIX (1006.98) lost 0.6%, while the wider BGBX40 lost the most (187.06; -0.7% WoW).

Despite the tech sector, represented by Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.50, +4.90%) and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.45, +3.81%), and the food manufacturer Smart Organic (SO, BGN 32.80, +0.61%) all other benchmark members ended on the negative side as Sopharma ...
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...
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.

The Bulgarian equities climbed in the first day of the week and returned to the positive trend with moderate widely based trading activity. All major indexes closed with gains in range between 0.06% and 0.33% as BGBX40 (180.91) ended on the top of the list. The buying interest in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 8.30, +2.47%) after the announcement of the shareholders agenda and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 43.50, +1.64%) attracted more investors in names like Neochim (NEOH, BGN 23.20, +2.65%), Ele...

The news about starting the procedure for dual listing of Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.21, +11.0%) put the company on the top of the gainers in our list of selected securities, followed...

BGBX40 (176.26, +0.77%) and BG...
The Bulgarian stocks ended the week with no clear direction, as the leading local benchmark SOFIX lost 0.14% to close at 885.75. Trades with Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 3.02, -0.66%) formed more than half of SOFIX turnover, which pushed it above the 3-month average numbers.
