Widened bid/ask spreads following the adoption of the euro, combined with a shift in focus among the local investment community toward the upcoming parliamentary elections (the eighth in the past five years), provided fertile ground for speculative trading and largely shaped the outcome of the final session of the week on the Bulgarian equity market. SOFIX (1 362.89, +0.62%) advanced on rebound-driven gains in Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, EUR 2.72, +2.26%), Chimimport (CHIM, EUR 0.505, +3.0...
The Bulgarian equities posted a mixed performance on the first trading day of the week, with turnover coming in below the YtD average. The main indices reflected the subdued activity, recording marginal gains in a narrow range between 0.01% and 0.06%. BGREIT (232.60) was the only index to finish lower, pressured by weakness in real estate names such as Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, EUR 2.70, -1.46%) and Advance Terrafund (ATER, EUR 1.395, -1.06%). The modest positive bias in SOFIX (1 354.69,...
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.

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...
Broad increase of index members lifted SOFIX (1 323.06, +4.42%) to an 18-year high. Sirma Group Holding (SGH, EUR 1.30, +17.12%) and Chimimport (CHIM, EUR 0.44, +15.79%) led daily gainers with higher daily turnover while Sopharma (SFA, EUR 1.785, +7.21%), Eurohold (EUBG, EUR 1.09, +7.92%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, EUR 1.00, +5.26%) jumped without significant daily volume.

The Bulgarian equity market extended its very strong start of the year, marking the fourth trading session under the newly adopted euro denomination. The major indexes continued to build gains, with BGREIT (229.89, -0.90%) being an exception, pressured by renewed weakness in the real estate sector. Strong price spikes in Sirma Group (SGH, EUR 1.11, +12.12%), Eurohold (EUBG, EUR 1.01, +5.21%), and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, EUR 7.30, +9.77%) supported the advance in SOFIX (1 267.03, +1.01%). ...
The Bulgarian stock market closed in positive territory on Wednesday, as investor activity continued to improve toward the end of both the month and the year. SOFIX gained 0.34%, finishing the session at 1 138.81 points. The advance was driven primarily by increased interest in Elana Agrocredit (EAC, BGN 1.08, +2.86%), as well as continued strong trading in Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.89, +1.40%), which has been among the most actively traded shares in recent weeks. Additional support for the index cam...
The Bulgarian equity market retreated within a narrow range, with weakness concentrated among recent gainers, pushing SOFIX (1 134.96, -0.19%) into negative territory.

In contrast, the broader indexes edged higher, with BGBX40 (200.94, +0.07%) and BGTR30 (979.99, +0.02%) benefiting from low-volume advances in Sofia Commerce (SCOM, BGN 5.00, +9.17%) and Hydraulic El...

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.

Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 4.52, -4.24%) and Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.62, -2.60%) led the declines, weighing broadly on sentiment.

Both names were amo...
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%) ...

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.
