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...

The Bulgarian equities extended their benchmark-led advance for a second consecutive session this week, sending SOFIX (1 086.47, +0.57%) to within a tick of its 18-year high. For the broader indexes — BGBX40 (194.37, +0.33%) and BGTR30 (945.97, +0.27%) — the upward momentum was more muted, as a notable share of constituents remained untraded or little changed. Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.30, +4.63%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.08, +2.63%) regained buying interest and anchored...

The Bulgarian equity market opened on a lower note on Friday, pressured by the placement of a 2.5% stake in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.80, -4.42%) at a price well below the market level. The discount-driven sale widened declines through the session, sending the major indexes lower. SOFIX (1 068.14) slipped below its 50-day moving average, as a 2.30% gain in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.40, +2.30%) was not enough to offset losses elsewhere. Trading activity remained subdued, with BSE alo...

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.

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...

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 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%).

Low trading activity in widened Bid/Ask spreads caused mixed outcomes for the major indexes on Bulgarian equity market on the first day of the week.
