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 traded mostly on the bid side, with all major indexes closing in positive territory. The upward momentum was driven by heavyweight Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.73, +1.49%), further supported by Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.73, +1.39%). These gains offset declines in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.18, -2.63%), Hydraulic Elements & Systems (HES, BGN 4.90, -3.92%), and Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.00, -3.85%). Daily volumes remained subdued compared to the 3-month average on a benchmark bas...
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 ...
Retail investors and speculators rule the trading and SOFIX 1 068.10 (-0.06) fluctuated without significant daily volume on Wednesday. Heavy Shelly (SLYG, EUR 55.80, -2.11%) and Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.60, -1.75%) retreated during the day as bid/ask spreads of both companies remained 3-5% wide. Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.50, +0.81%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.42, +2.65%) supported the main index without corporate news, while moderated financial performance of Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.38, ...
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...
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...
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...
Weekly turnover of BGN 32m doubled last week compared to the average YTD, while almost all local indexes remained unchanged except BGREIT 323.91 (+0.8%), which registered an insignificant positive move. Vacation season and the forthcoming release of H1 financial reports restrained investors’ activity, while the block trades and cash management ruled the trading. This week we will be closely monitoring the financial reports that are due to be published by Thursday, especially the industrial compa...
A mixed trading session fixed SOFIX (1 045.48, +0.18%) positive.

Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...

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...
