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 ...
The Bulgarian equity market advanced on Tuesday, led by heavyweight Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.80, +2.28%) and Holding Varna (HVAR, BGN 47.40, +1.72%). Broader support came from light-volume gains in EMKA (EMKA, BGN 1.99, +2.58%), Speedy (SPDY, BGN 198.00, +3.13%), and Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.70, +2.11%), lifting BGBX40 (193.90, +0.69%) and BGTR30 (958.39, +0.35%). Turnover surged in the session, boosted by a significant block trade in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.35, -0.53%). Sec...
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...
Profit-taking dominated the Bulgarian equity market on Wednesday, sending all major indexes lower in a range from 0.27% to 0.48%. Losses were broad-based with notable declines in Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.36, -4.23%), Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 8.85, -2.21%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.10, -0.97%), and Trace Group (T57, BGN 6.10, -6.15%) weighing on sentiment.

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...
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...
The past week was negative for the major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, with SOFIX (1 043.55) recording the largest decline, down 1.0%. Key underperformers from our watchlist that dragged the indexes lower included Neochim (NEOH, BGN 20.00, -7.4%), Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.00, -7.2%), and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.49, -4.2%).

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.

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.

Poor trading activity marked the first trading day of the week. The major indexes trended lower from the opening bell as the decliners led the advancers in roughly 4-to-3 margin. Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +4.63%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, +1.41%) led the gainers in this trading session, while Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.30, -2.11%) and Speedy (SPDY, BGN 190.00, -5.00%) ended on the opposite side. The daily volumes slipped significantly below the 15-day average as the ...

Despite the tech sector, represented by Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.50, +4.90%) and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.45, +3.81%), and the food manufacturer Smart Organic (SO, BGN 32.80, +0.61%) all other benchmark members ended on the negative side as Sopharma ...

The local benchmark SOFIX added 2.6% to settle at 981.32 and the broader BGBX40 (183.32, +1.7%) and BGTR30 (922.11, +2.6%) moved similar.

The local stock market gained some steam last week and ended on a positive note, ranging from 0.8% to 3.2%. The benchmark SOFIX added 3.2% to settle at 956.86, strongly supported by the renewed buying interest in high-tech blue chip Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 42.80, +17.3%). The share became the weekly top gainer within our list of selected companies, followed by the less interesting Industrial Capital Holding (HIKA, BGN 2.56, +4.9%) and Monbat (MONB, BGN 2.60, +4.0%). On the other side, Speedy (SP...
