The major indexes extended their advance on Wednesday, supported by strength in the technology sector, led by Wiser Technologies (WISR, EUR 2.82, +0.71%), Sirma Group (SGH, EUR 1.29, +0.78%), and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 70.20, +0.29%). At the same time, weakness in Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, EUR 1.90, -3.55%) and Elana Agrocredit (EAC, EUR 0.545, -2.68%) capped the upside, leaving SOFIX (1 405.08, +0.19%) with a modest gain as it continued to hover near last week’s fresh 18-year high.

Global macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges weighed on the Bulgarian economy over the past year, primarily through weaker external trade dynamics. Despite this, economic growth remained solid. Real GDP expanded by 2.8% in Q1, 3.5% in Q2, and 3.0% in Q3, supported almost entirely by strong domestic demand. Several factors underpinned this robust consumption growth with the most important being the growth of compensation and the euro transition effect. For 2026 the projections by major i...
For a ninth consecutive trading session SOFIX 1 386.14 (+0.51%) closed green. The strong positive sentiment from the previous days waned and the main index members registered huge opposite moves. Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, EUR 1.55, +19.23%) and Chimimport (CHIM, EUR 0.50, +4.17%) jumped north, while profit taking and insignificant speculative trades weighed on First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.61, -4.50%), Sirma Group Holding (SGH, EUR 1.30, -2.26%) and Advance Terrafund (ATER, EUR 1.42, -2...
The Bulgarian equity market faced a broader-based session at the start of December, resulting in mixed moves across the major indexes.

The daily turnover continued to exceed the 3-month average on a broader front — a tre...
Bulgarian equities ended the week firmly on the negative side, with most major indices posting declines as investors reassessed their positions amid heightened volatility across global markets. The local blue-chip index SOFIX slipped by 0.7% to close at 1 071.8 points, as the broader BGBX40 (192.56, -0.8%) and BGTR30 (941.65, -0.7%) mirrored the overall downward trend. Among the stocks we track, the top performers were Trace Group Hold (T57, BGN 5.20, +4.0%), the consistently strong Shelly Group...
All major indexes closed Friday’s session on negative territory, with SOFIX (1 071.88, -1.11%) underperforming, while BGBX40 (192.56, -0.77%) and BGTR30 (941.65, -0.39%) saw comparatively milder declines as light-volume trades in several mid-cap names softened the downside. Eurohold Bulgaria (EUBG, BGN 1.83, -4.69%), coming off a week of elevated volatility, slipped back toward early-week levels on thin turnover and topped the list of decliners on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange. Trading activity r...
The Bulgarian equity market saw an unusual surge in volumes on Monday – particularly within SOFIX constituents – which pressured all major indexes into negative territory. Heavy selling in Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.83, -5.67%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 4.83, -5.29%), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.70, -3.60%), and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.685, -3.52%) drove the benchmark SOFIX (1 063.34) to the bottom of the daily rankings with a 1.48% decline. The sharp drop in Expat SOFIX ETF (BGX, BG...
Trading on the Bulgarian equity market remained subdued, with light volumes and mixed movements across the major indexes. Investor sentiment was cautious, resulting in modest price changes.

Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.60, -2.04%), Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -2.56%), Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.79, -1.65%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 29.60, -1.33%) suffered from poor liquidity and selling pressure.

The Bulgarian equities opened the week under pressure, with all major indexes finishing lower on broad-based selling. SOFIX (1 071.73, -0.55%) was dragged down by Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.86, -3.05%), while Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -3.06%) added weight on BGBX40 (194.36, -0.47%) and BGTR30 (956.29, -0.19%).

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 ...
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...
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...

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 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 real estate sector led Thursday’s gains on the local stock exchange with Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.95, +2.08%) and Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.94, +2.07%) acting as key drivers. Their performance supported broad-based growth across all major indexes, which closed higher in a range between 0.46% and 1.35%. SOFIX added 0.53% to reach 1 013.89 points, supported by gains in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 49.40, +0.61%). Meanwhile, the broader indexes also advanced: BGBX40 rose 0.46% to...
SOFIX (1 008.53) booked 0.43% gain and finished Wednesday’s session on a tick lower from the 16-year high as the widened Bid/Ask spreads allowed the retail to easily lift the prices of Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.89, +3.21%), Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 21.80, +2.59%), Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.80, +2.58%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.45, +2.84%).
