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 shook off early weakness on Friday to close the week and the month on a positive note. Heavyweight Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 55.20, -3.83%) pressured the market in early trade, but upbeat financial results lifted sentiment in Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.65, +5.16%) and Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.30, +2.42%), helping major indexes reverse course. SOFIX (1 081.60, +0.45%) rose for a second straight session, marking another fresh 18-year high. The real estate sector also ...
Negative sentiment weighed on all local indexes on Wednesday. BGREIT (230.35, -0.54%) slipped the most as the drop of Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, -2.80%) erased the positive move of Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.97, +0.34%). SOFIX (1 060.63, -0.10%) barely survived the selling pressure among most of the index members. The support for the main index came from Shelly (SLYG, EUR 54.80, +1.86%), Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.00, +0.92%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1....
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...
Profit-taking dominated the Bulgarian equity market on Wednesday, sending all major indexes lower in a range from 0.27% to 0.48%. Losses were broad-based with notable declines in Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.36, -4.23%), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 8.85, -2.21%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.10, -0.97%), and Trace Group (T57, BGN 6.10, -6.15%) weighing on sentiment. Trading activity picked up sharply with daily turnover climbing well above recent averages. Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.46, +...
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...
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. The rise was driven by strong performances from Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.94, +2.23%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 7.00, +6.06%). Meanwhile Neochim (NEOH, BGN 22.00, -2.65%) and Albena (ALB, BGN 26.20, -2.96%) traded lightly and curbed the broader market’s momentum. As a result, BGBX40 and BGTR30 posted modest gains of 1.17% (188.81) and 0.76% (942.08), respe...
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...
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. 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...
SOFIX (987.54, -0.83%) lost altitude as most index members closed in the red zone on Wednesday. Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31,00, -3.13%), Shelly (SLYG, BGN 45,00, -2.17%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.10, -2.15%) suffered from selling pressure and weighed on the main index. Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 8.68, +0.23%) was the only SOFIX member that closed positive but registered insignificant daily turnover. BGREIT (219.07, -0.97%) also stepped bаck, reflecting the drop of Sopharma Bui...
The huge volatility brought increased liquidity and turnover on Thursday. SOFIX (974.94, -0.09%) remained almost unchanged as opposite moves of index members offset the enormous fluctuations. Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.40, +8.00%), Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.65, +3.13%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.73, +3.55%) highlighted the trading session while First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.04, -3.82%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 33.00, -2.37%) retreated under the profit taking pressure. BGREIT (219.81, -...
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 local stock market gained some steam last week and ended on a positive note, ranging from 0.8% to 3.2%. The benchmark SOFIX added 3.2% to settle at 956.86, strongly supported by the renewed buying interest in high-tech blue chip Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 42.80, +17.3%). The share became the weekly top gainer within our list of selected companies, followed by the less interesting Industrial Capital Holding (HIKA, BGN 2.56, +4.9%) and Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.60, +4.0%). On the other side, Speedy (SP...
Key names like First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.37, -5.41%), Doverie (DUH, BGN 8.62, -2.27%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.695, -2.11%) met some selling pressure on Friday and influenced the daily outcome of the major indexes. SOFIX (956.86) slipped the most, interrupting 9-session winning trend with 0.49% loss, while BGBX40 (180.32, -0.25%) and BGTR30 (898.68, -0.44%) partly balanced with the positive price actions of Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 14.80, +8.03%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN...
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. The top daily gainers within the benchmark were Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 8.24, +2.74 %), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 7.85, +2.61%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.705, +2.17%). The high-tech blue chip Shelly Group...
The Bulgarian equity market continued to be sluggish and the main indexed finished with small changes on Wednesday. Shelly (SLYG, EUR 33.70, +1.81%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.98, +1.53%) supported the indexes with moderate buying interest, while Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 13.00, -5.80%) and Agria Group (AGH, BGN 21.60, -3.57%) took over some sell pressure and placed BGTR30 (868.18, -0.36%) on negative territory. The volumes remained low as the trading activity was poor, though block tr...
Huge bid/ask spreads and absence of news fixed SOFIX (903.53, -0.79%) negative on Monday. Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 37.30, -1.58%), Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.725, -2.68%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 5.74, -1.37%) retreated with small daily turnover. The gambling company Telematic Interactive Bulgaria (TIB, BGN 22.00, +0.92%) and Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 7.98, +0.25%) moved north driven by speculative trades on the last trading date of the month. BGREIT (214.08, -0.09%) also stepped back, reflecti...
