It appeared that the fresh 18-year highs reached in recent sessions attracted increased profit-taking, as the Bulgarian equity market came under selling pressure on Friday, echoing the cautious sentiment from global markets. SOFIX (1 374.91, -0.76%) closed lower, weighed down by declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 68.00, -2.30%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, EUR 3.68, -2.13%), despite the absence of any negative surprises in the latest financial disclosures. On a broader base, Eleven Capital (...
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...
The Bulgarian equity market posted a solid start to the week, with SOFIX (1 402.30, +1.06%) leading the advance, followed by BGBX40 (243.57, +0.91%), BGTR30 (1 125.05, +1.05%), and BGTREIT (233.46, +0.46%). 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...
Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 4.70, +2.17%) and the financial sector representatives Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.84, +2.22%) and First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.88, +5.00%) reinforced SOFIX (1,125.87, +0.34%), which registered a new 18-year high on Thursday. Investor focus remained concentrated primarily within the benchmark, although low-volume trades in Trace Group (T57, BGN 5.30, +6.00%) and Sopharma Properties (SFI, BGN 9.35, +3.89%) supported the performance of the broad indexes,...
SOFIX (1 118.39, +0.49%) registered its fourth consecutive session with a fresh 18-year high, reflecting increased buying interest across the benchmark’s constituents. The strengthened buy-side order book lifted First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.30) by 5.58% following the approval of the GSM agenda. Recent outperformers, Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.82, +1.08%) and Doverie (DUH, BGN 11.65, +0.43%), remained on the gainers’ list, joined by Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.20, +2.00%), which rebounde...
The Bulgarian equities inched higher on Friday, recovering most of the previous session’s losses and closing the week with modest gains. A rebound in Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.67, +1.91%) and a steady bid in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 56.40, +1.44%) helped to lift all major indexes, with SOFIX (1 087.77, +0.14%) leading the advance. Trading volumes were broadly unchanged from the prior session, remaining subdued for the season. Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.70, 0.00%) and Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.90, +...
The Bulgarian equity market extended its midterm uptrend on Wednesday, despite the absence of major corporate catalysts or meaningful macro signals, with all key indexes adding to their recent gains. SOFIX (1 088.86) finished just a tick below its 18-year high, powered by a fresh advance in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 11.80, +4.42%), which remained the session’s standout performer. Strength across the producers’ segment, most notably Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, BGN 5.10, +2.82%) ...
Bulgarian stock market closed the week a little bit lower, as the local Benchmark SOFIX lost 0.6% to settle at 1068.06, all the other major indexes closed ranging from -0.7% to 0.0%. No visible improvement in investors’ sentiment was observed after the release of the last financial reports for the 3rd quarter, leaving the market subdued and lacking strong catalyst. The significant improvement in both weekly volumes (+285.5% YTD) and turnover (+148.6% YTD) came mainly from block trades with capit...
Despite the enormous jump of Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.72, +10.97%), SOFIX 1069.02 (-0.29%) closed negative as all the other index members lost altitude or finished the day unchanged on Thursday. Poor financial performance in Q3 of Smart Organic (SO, BGN 28.00, -2.78%) disappointed investors and the company dropped without significant daily volume while huge selling pressure weighed on Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.50, -1.87%), Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.28, -1.90%) and Advance Ter...
It was a mixed session on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange on Tuesday, with the main indexes ending flat amid opposing moves across key equities. SOFIX (1 069.43, 0.00%) closed unchanged as a 3.59% rise in First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.20, +3.59%), following the publication of the agenda for its upcoming extraordinary general meeting, offset declines in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.60, -0.38%), Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.90, -1.02%), and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.70, -0.93%). The b...
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...
The Bulgarian equity market extended its decline on Thursday, with SOFIX (1 052.98, -0.72%) posting the steepest loss among the main indexes. Technology names weighed heavily, led by weakness in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.60, -2.19%) and Sirma Group Holding (SGH, BGN 1.35, -2.88%). The pullback mirrored the softer global tone and was largely driven by large-cap stocks, while much of the broader market remained flat or inactive. Turnover was thin, with daily volumes at just 39% of the three-month...
The Bulgarian stock market closed in positive territory on Friday, with gains ranging from 0.06% to 0.33%. The benchmark SOFIX index rose the most, ending at 1 053.95 points, driven by strong performances of Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 52.00, +2.77%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.40, +1.29%). On the downside, the negative impact came from heavy names like Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.735, -1.34%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.46, -0.81%). SOFIX daily turnover increased, with liquidity largely driven by tradin...
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...
Bulgarian stocks were little changed in Thursday’s quiet session with light volumes keeping the main indexes flat. SOFIX slipped 0.05% to 1 043.42, with turnover at just 14% of the 3-month average. Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, +2.13%) and Smart Organic (SO, BGN 31.00, -1.90%) led the individual movers. Broader indexes BGBX40 (191.49, -0.04%) and BGTR30 (951.34, -0.04%) were also marginally lower, as losses in Bulmetal (BMTL, BGN 9.10, -2.15%) offset gains in Hydraulic Elements and Systems (HES, B...
A mixed trading session fixed SOFIX (1 045.48, +0.18%) positive. The north moves of Shelly (SLYG, EUR 49.90, +2.46%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 5.20, +0.97%) and Telematic Interactive (TIB, BGN 22.60, +0.89%) offset the negative impact of Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.15, -2.83%), First Investment Bank (FIB, BGN 5.06, -1.17%) and Chimimport (CHIM, BGN 0.74, -1.33%). Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.98, -0.67%) stepped back but BGREIT (231.19, +0.06%) closed in the green zone. Overall liquidity re...
The main indexes on the BSE retreated last week with the exception of BGREIT (221.17; +0.6% WoW). The blue-chip SOFIX (1006.98) lost 0.6%, while the wider BGBX40 lost the most (187.06; -0.7% WoW). The top gainer within our universe was Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.88, +4.7%), while Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 47.5, -4.8%) and Telematic Interactive Bulgaria (TIB, BGN 21.60, -4.4%) lost the most. Both the volumes (+123.1% YtD) and the weekly turnover (+156.2% YtD) were well above their YtD ...
SOFIX 1006.98 (-0.42%) closed slightly negative as profit taking and consolidation above the psychological level of 1000 have been in charge for the last 10 days. Main distributors for the negative sentiment were Shelly (SLYG, EUR 47.50, -2.80%), Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.88, -2.01%) and IT companies Wiser (WISR, BGN 5.30, -1.85%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.44, -1.37%). Speculative trades with Eurohold (EUBG, BGN 1.89, +3.28%) and moderate daily turnover of Central Cooperative Ban...
The Bulgarian stock market continued the positive trend during the past week, as all major indexes closed on green, ranging from 0.1% to 1.4%. The benchmark SOFIX added 1.4% to settle at 1012.91, reflecting the impressive performance of the index members Doverie United Holding (DUH, BGN 9.28, +5.2%) and the powerhouse Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 49.90, +9.2%). The top gainer within our list of selected companies was industrial Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.10, +11.0%), while the red side started wi...
