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...

Ten out of fifteen constituents in the benchmark closed higher, led by the latest momentum names Chimimport (CHIM, EUR 0.60, +7.14%) and Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 69.00, +4.55%). Investor sentiment improved compared to the end of last week, although trading volumes remained below the 15-day ave...

The final session of the last full trading week before year-end closed on a positive note for the Bulgarian equity market, reflecting the constructive sentiment observed in recent days. Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.745, +2.76%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.86, +6.29%) contributed the most to SOFIX (1 148.45, +0.45%), which rewrote its 18-year high.

All major indexes on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange advanced on Thursday, reflecting renewed buying interest following fresh corporate updates and strong financial results. The upcoming transition from BGN to EUR remained in focus, prompting investors more frequently to “halve” prices to gauge their euro-equivalent levels. SOFIX (1 095.44, +0.67%) led the advance with a fresh 18-year high, supported once again by the continued surge in Doverie (DUH, BGN 10.60, +6.21%), whose standalone strength ha...
The broad indexes BGBX40 (195.46, +0.16%) and BGTR30 (951.52, +0.14%) captured modest gains as retail investors reacted positively to the latest financial results from Telelink Business Services (TBS, BGN 9.85), easily pushing the stock up 16.38% amid a thin sell-side order book. SOFIX (1 089.49) finished unchanged, as choppy price action in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.50, -3.36%) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.75, +2.94%) offset each other, allowing the benchmark to confirm ...
The Bulgarian equity market faced a broader-based session at the start of December, resulting in mixed moves across the major indexes. BGBX40 (195.15, +0.21%) led the gainers as Doverie (DUH, BGN 9.52, +3.03%) and Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 16.50, +2.48%) supported the advance, while Neochim (NEOH, BGN 23.00, +15.00%) surged the most, boosted by an unusually high-volume trade executed at the session’s peak price. The daily turnover continued to exceed the 3-month average on a broader front — a tre...
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...
Trading activity remained subdued on the Bulgarian equity market on Thursday, with all major indexes slipping modestly below their previous levels. SOFIX (1 072.55, -0.21%) absorbed losses in eight of its fifteen constituents, led by Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.66, -2.35%). Support from Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 16.00, +3.23%) and Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.85, +2.60%) helped soften the downside pressure on the broader gauges, yet both BGBX40 (193.26, -0.06%) and BGTR30 (946.00, -0.0...
The Bulgarian equity market lost momentum on Monday, sending the main indexes in mixed directions. SOFIX (1 069.46, -0.33%) slipped as weakness in the tech sector, led by Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.80, -0.75%), Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.53, -0.65%), and Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 5.00, -0.99%), weighed on the benchmark. The broader BGTR30 (946.97, +0.21%) outperformed, supported by Synthetica (SYN, BGN 84.50, +11.18%), which surged after a block trade was registered at BGN 81.00. Tchaikapharma ...
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...
Huge dividend distribution from Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.60, +10.42%) pushed SOFIX (1 073.93, +0.74%) up on Friday. IT companies Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.44, +2.13%) and Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.40, +1.89%) offset the drop of Shelly (SLYG, BGN 54.80, -1.08%) with bigger than regular daily turnover. The wider BGBX40 (193.74, +0.46%) also gained altitude on the back of Monbat (MONB, BGN 1.95, +2.63%) and Sofia Commerce Pawn Brokerage (SCOM, BGN 8.40, +3.07%).
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 ...
A block trade and positive sentiment in the end of the trading session lifted Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, +1.96%) while speculative trades fixed Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 9.35, +0.54%) and Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.85, +0.54%) positive. SOFIX (1 068.73) remained unchanged due to the south move of tech companies Shelly (SLYG, EUR 57.00, -0.70%) and Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.36, -1.45%). Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.725, -2.68%) also plunged on Tuesday on the back of speculat...
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...

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...

Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...
