The local benchmark SOFIX declined by 0.7%, closing at 1 077.62, while the broader BGBX40 (195.28, -0.2%) and BGTR30 (958.07, +0.1%) remained flattish. Industrial M+S Hydraulic (MSH, BGN 10.10, +5.2%) and SOFIX member Telematic Interactive Bulgaria (TIB, BGN 22.20, +2.8%) were on the top of the gainers in our li...
The Bulgarian equity market ended the week slightly lower on Friday, with the main indexes posting modest declines between 0.13% and 0.20%. BGREIT (230.31, +0.04%) was the lone gainer, edging higher reflecting the positive price actions of Sopharma Buildings (SFB, BGN 15.80, +1.94%). Among the benchmark constituents, Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.38, -2.13%), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.70, -1.52%), and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.68, -0.74%) led the laggards amid moderate activity. Turnover picked ...
The Bulgarian equity market extended its midterm downtrend on Wednesday, with all major indexes closing lower amid subdued activity on the bid side. SOFIX (1 080.54, -0.04%) edged down slightly, while BGBX40 (195.39, -0.36%) and BGTR30 (958.25, -0.16%) underperformed, pressured by sell-offs in Sofia Commerz (SCOM, BGN 7.85, -4.27%), Korado Bulgaria (KBG, BGN 4.14, -4.17%), and Speedy (SPDY, BGN 193.00, -3.50%).

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, ...
Huge opposite move of SOFIX (1 051.29, -0.12%) members fixed the main index almost unchanged on Wednesday. Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.85, +3.54%) registered large move with insignificant daily turnover, which was fully offset by the step back of Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, -1.89%), Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.38, -1.43%) and the heavy member Shelly (SLYG, EUR 50.60, -0.39%). All other indexes lost altitude but BGREIT (232.60, -0.53%) lost the most, reflecting the negative move of mai...
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...
Bulgarian stocks were little changed in Thursday’s quiet session with light volumes keeping the main indexes flat. SOFIX slipped 0.05% to 1 043.42, with turnover at just 14% of the 3-month average. Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, +2.13%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.00, -1.90%) led the individual movers. Broader indexes BGBX40 (191.49, -0.04%) and BGTR30 (951.34, -0.04%) were also marginally lower, as losses in Bulmetal (BMTL, BGN 9.10, -2.15%) offset gains in Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, B...
A mixed trading session fixed SOFIX (1 045.48, +0.18%) positive. The north moves of Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.90, +2.46%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, +0.97%) and Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +0.89%) offset the negative impact of Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.15, -2.83%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.06, -1.17%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.74, -1.33%). Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...

The Bulgarian Stock Exchange indexes weakened on Tuesday, with SOFIX slipping by 0.38% to close at 1 053.22. Over two-thirds of the benchmark turnover came from Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.60, -2.26%) as the stock price suffered increased selling pressure. The top performer within SOFIX was Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.74, +3.57%), while Sopharma (SFA), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.00, -1.10%) and Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.40, -0.88%) lost the most.

The Bulgarian equity market ended Wednesday’s session on a positive note, led by strong performance from Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 48.90, +2.30%), following the release of robust H1 preliminary results. Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.15, +2.81%) also contributed significantly to the upbeat sentiment. The benchmark index SOFIX advanced to a new 18-year high, closing at 1 032.04, supported by gains in key constituents. However, broader market indexes lagged slightly, weighed down by declines i...
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...
The Bulgarian stock market did not manage to find support during the past week and indexes finished the week mainly on the red side, as the benchmark SOFIX (1007.57, +0.1%) was the only one in green. Three index members – Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 50.20, +5.7%), Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.40, +1.9%) and Sopharma Trading (SFT, BGN 5.80, +0.9%) were on the top of the gainers within our list of selected securities. On the other side, Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -5.0%) and Alcomet (ALCM, BGN 5.95, -4.8%) lost t...
