The sector-specific BGREIT index proved relatively more resilient, slipping by a modest 1.4% to 226.68 points....
Quite opposite move of SOFIX (1 210.32, 0.00%) members fixed the main index unchanged on Friday. The jump of Sirma Group Holding (SIRM, EUR 0.915, +3.39%), First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.16, +2.27%) and Sopharma (SFA, EUR 1.715, +2.08%) fully offset the drop of Eurohold (EUBG, EUR 1.03, -6.36%) and Wiser (WISR, EUR, 2.10, -1.87%). The trading session was highlighted by the transfer of 100.8m shares of Gradus (GR6, EUR 0.55, +27.91%) representing 40.9% of the company. BGBX40 (208.17, +0.46%) c...
The Bulgarian equity market recorded a positive session on Wednesday, with all major indices posting gains. Direction was largely driven by retail activity, as widened bid/ask spreads in recent choppy sessions allowed smaller orders to move prices more easily. Among the benchmark constituents, First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.36, +3.38%), Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 59.40, +2.77%), and Doverie United Holding (DUH, EUR 6.54, +2.19%) led the advance, pushing SOFIX (1 277.47, +0.70%) to the top of the...
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,...
The positive sentiment on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange weakened on Thursday, pushing all major indexes into negative territory, with SOFIX (1 385.46, -1.40%) recording the steepest decline.

A sharp advance in Sopharma Trading ...
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. Positive sentiment raised all other indexes and BGBX40 (224.48, +3.32%) and BGTR30 (1 064.12, +2.24%) closed green o...
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...

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...

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