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 (...

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...

All major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange advanced on Thursday, reflecting renewed buying interest following fresh corporate updates and strong financial results. The upcoming transition from BGN to EUR remained in focus, prompting investors more frequently to “halve” prices to gauge their euro-equivalent levels. SOFIX (1 095.44, +0.67%) led the advance with a fresh 18-year high, supported once again by the continued surge in Doverie (DUH, BGN 10.60, +6.21%), whose standalone strength ha...
The broad indexes BGBX40 (195.46, +0.16%) and BGTR30 (951.52, +0.14%) captured modest gains as retail investors reacted positively to the latest financial results from Telelink Business Services (TBS, BGN 9.85), easily pushing the stock up 16.38% amid a thin sell-side order book.

A rebound in Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.67, +1.91%) and a steady bid in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 56.40, +1.44%) helped to lift all major indexes, with SOFIX (1 087.77, +0.14%) leading the advance.

The Bulgarian equity market extended its midterm uptrend on Wednesday, despite the absence of major corporate catalysts or meaningful macro signals, with all key indexes adding to their recent gains. SOFIX (1 088.86) finished just a tick below its 18-year high, powered by a fresh advance in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.80, +4.42%), which remained the session’s standout performer.

Bulgarian stock market closed the week a little bit lower, as the local Benchmark SOFIX lost 0.6% to settle at 1068.06, all the other major indexes closed ranging from -0.7% to 0.0%. No visible improvement in investors’ sentiment was observed after the release of the last financial reports for the 3rd quarter, leaving the market subdued and lacking strong catalyst. The significant improvement in both weekly volumes (+285.5% YTD) and turnover (+148.6% YTD) came mainly from block trades with capit...
