It appeared that the fresh 18-year highs reached in recent sessions attracted increased profit-taking, as the Bulgarian equity market came under selling pressure on Friday, echoing the cautious sentiment from global markets. SOFIX (1 374.91, -0.76%) closed lower, weighed down by declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 68.00, -2.30%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.68, -2.13%), despite the absence of any negative surprises in the latest financial disclosures. On a broader base, Eleven Capital (...
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 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...

Both stocks were also among the top gainers in FFBH’s li...
