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...
SOFIX (999.39, +0.58%) closed a few ticks away from the psychological level of 1000, something we haven’t witnessed since 2008. The excellent Q1 financial results raised Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.00, +3.45%) while Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.46, +2.10%) jumped on the back of buy-back buying power. Ex-dividend date weighed on Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.92, -2.01%) while Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.20, -2.50%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.10, -1.54%) suffered from small spe...
The Bulgarian stocks marked a positive week, while the global markets suffered pullbacks and volatility, as new threats were tapping the brakes on investor optimism.

Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 8.68, +0.23%) was the only SOFIX member that closed positive but registered insignificant daily turnover. BGREIT (219.07, -0.97%) also stepped bаck, reflecting the drop of Sopharma Bui...
The huge volatility brought increased liquidity and turnover on Thursday. SOFIX (974.94, -0.09%) remained almost unchanged as opposite moves of index members offset the enormous fluctuations. Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.40, +8.00%), Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.65, +3.13%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.73, +3.55%) highlighted the trading session while First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.04, -3.82%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 33.00, -2.37%) retreated under the profit taking pressure. BGREIT (219.81, -...

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%).

SOFIX (956.86) slipped the most, interrupting 9-session winning trend with 0.49% loss, while BGBX40 (180.32, -0.25%) and BGTR30 (898.68, -0.44%) partly balanced with the positive price actions of Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 14.80, +8.03%) and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN...

The Bulgarian market moved in a narrow range since it registered a 16-year high in beginning of the year, while the trading activity weakened. SOFIX (887.84) settled on a note higher as the positive bias came from the heavy member Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 35.00 +0.57%). The broad indexes BGTR30 (857.49, +0.31%) and BGBX40 (171.44, +0.32%) were additionally powered by the reaction of the retail on the released financial data of Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.00, +4.17%) and the price actions with M+S Hydrauli...

Friday’s trading was mostly mixed with moderate activity on a narrow base as BGBX40 (166.63, -0.02%) blended all volatile price actions within the BSE, underperforming SOFIX (847.67, +0.15%). Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.695, -4.14%), Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 16.00, -3.61%) and Stara Planina (SPH, BGN 9.00, -2.17%) led the decliners, while First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.88) and Hydraulic Element and System (HES, BGN 5.50) took some breath and recovered by 3.74% and 2.80%, respectively.

The buying power weakened and the Bulgarian equity market shortly shifted into earlier defined mid-term downtrend as investors took the opportunity to go cash. The late hour trades with Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 34.40, +0.29%) disguised the 5.24% drop during the session, caused by aggressive sell-offs and minimized the losses of major indexes on Thursday. The negative bias from Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, -2.10%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.02, -2.86%) reflected on SOFIX (852.07, - 0.27%) and the ...

The Bulgarian equity market had a mixed showing on Wednesday, though ultimately the main indexes were up in range from 0.39% to 0.74%. SOFIX (841.39, +0.40%) rebounded from its 200-day MA mainly supported by First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 3.66, +5.17%) recovery after the announcement of Q3 financial data, which couldn’t reach the previous year results for the same period on the other hand. BGREIT (211.42) was the exception, following the pull back of the real estate sector and settled 0.41% low...
