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. Invest...
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...
The Bulgarian equity market posted a solid start to the week, with SOFIX (1 402.30, +1.06%) leading the advance, followed by BGBX40 (243.57, +0.91%), BGTR30 (1 125.05, +1.05%), and BGTREIT (233.46, +0.46%). Ten out of fifteen constituents in the benchmark closed higher, led by the latest momentum names Chimimport (CHIM, EUR 0.60, +7.14%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 69.00, +4.55%). Investor sentiment improved compared to the end of last week, although trading volumes remained below the 15-day ave...
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...
Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 4.70, +2.17%) and the financial sector representatives Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.84, +2.22%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.88, +5.00%) reinforced SOFIX (1,125.87, +0.34%), which registered a new 18-year high on Thursday. Investor focus remained concentrated primarily within the benchmark, although low-volume trades in Trace Group (T57, BGN 5.30, +6.00%) and Sopharma Properties (SFI, BGN 9.35, +3.89%) supported the performance of the broad indexes,...
SOFIX (1 118.39, +0.49%) registered its fourth consecutive session with a fresh 18-year high, reflecting increased buying interest across the benchmark’s constituents. The strengthened buy-side order book lifted First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.30) by 5.58% following the approval of the GSM agenda. Recent outperformers, Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.82, +1.08%) and Doverie (DUH, BGN 11.65, +0.43%), remained on the gainers’ list, joined by Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.20, +2.00%), which rebounde...
The Bulgarian equity market faced a broader-based session at the start of December, resulting in mixed moves across the major indexes. BGBX40 (195.15, +0.21%) led the gainers as Doverie (DUH, BGN 9.52, +3.03%) and Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 16.50, +2.48%) supported the advance, while Neochim (NEOH, BGN 23.00, +15.00%) surged the most, boosted by an unusually high-volume trade executed at the session’s peak price. The daily turnover continued to exceed the 3-month average on a broader front — a tre...
The Bulgarian equities inched higher on Friday, recovering most of the previous session’s losses and closing the week with modest gains. 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. Trading volumes were broadly unchanged from the prior session, remaining subdued for the season. Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, 0.00%) and Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.90, +...
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. Strength across the producers’ segment, most notably Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, BGN 5.10, +2.82%) ...
The Bulgarian equities extended their benchmark-led advance for a second consecutive session this week, sending SOFIX (1 086.47, +0.57%) to within a tick of its 18-year high. For the broader indexes — BGBX40 (194.37, +0.33%) and BGTR30 (945.97, +0.27%) — the upward momentum was more muted, as a notable share of constituents remained untraded or little changed. Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.30, +4.63%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.08, +2.63%) regained buying interest and anchored...
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...
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...
Despite the enormous jump of Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.72, +10.97%), SOFIX 1069.02 (-0.29%) closed negative as all the other index members lost altitude or finished the day unchanged on Thursday. Poor financial performance in Q3 of Smart Organic (SO, BGN 28.00, -2.78%) disappointed investors and the company dropped without significant daily volume while huge selling pressure weighed on Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.50, -1.87%), Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.28, -1.90%) and Advance Ter...
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. First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.26, +1.15%) continued to attract attention following its recently published agenda, which helped the stock advance by 1.15% and along with Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.74, +1.48%) and Doverie (DUH, BGN 9.46, +1.07%) supported the SOFIX index, which closed 0.25% higher at 1 072.11 poi...
It was a mixed session on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange on Tuesday, with the main indexes ending flat amid opposing moves across key equities. SOFIX (1 069.43, 0.00%) closed unchanged as a 3.59% rise in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.20, +3.59%), following the publication of the agenda for its upcoming extraordinary general meeting, offset declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.60, -0.38%), Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.90, -1.02%), and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.70, -0.93%). The b...
The Bulgarian equity market lost momentum on Monday, sending the main indexes in mixed directions. SOFIX (1 069.46, -0.33%) slipped as weakness in the tech sector, led by Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.80, -0.75%), Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.53, -0.65%), and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.00, -0.99%), weighed on the benchmark. The broader BGTR30 (946.97, +0.21%) outperformed, supported by Synthetica (SYN, BGN 84.50, +11.18%), which surged after a block trade was registered at BGN 81.00. Tchaikapharma ...
The Bulgarian equity market opened on a lower note on Friday, pressured by the placement of a 2.5% stake in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.80, -4.42%) at a price well below the market level. The discount-driven sale widened declines through the session, sending the major indexes lower. SOFIX (1 068.14) slipped below its 50-day moving average, as a 2.30% gain in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.40, +2.30%) was not enough to offset losses elsewhere. Trading activity remained subdued, with BSE alo...
