Largest listed companies in Hungary by market capitalization

Hungarian stocks form a key component of Central and Eastern Europe’s financial markets. They are primarily traded on the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE), a historic exchange revitalized in 1990 that serves as Hungary’s principal capital market hub. The Hungarian stock market, represented mainly by the BUX index, offers investors exposure to leading regional corporations with established market positions and dividend traditions.

The BSE hosts not only Hungarian companies but also attracts regional enterprises. Key advantages of investing in Hungarian equities include:

  • Regional market leaders: Companies with dominant positions in Central Europe and diversified operations.
  • Core sectors: Banking (OTP Bank), energy (MOL Group), pharmaceuticals (Richter Gedeon), telecommunications (Magyar Telekom), and manufacturing.
  • Dividend focus: Several blue-chip firms maintain consistent dividend distributions, appealing to income-oriented investors.

The energy conglomerate MOL Group and financial giant OTP Bank exemplify this market’s significance – together they constitute approximately 60% of the BUX index’s weight. Investing in Hungarian stocks provides participation in corporations shaping regional economic landscapes.

Hungary’s equity market features notable dividend performers. OTP Bank has delivered uninterrupted dividends for over 15 years, while MOL Group maintains a robust distribution record despite cyclical industry pressures. While smaller than Western European markets, Hungary’s strategic position within the EU contributes to its unique investment profile. The BSE also hosts specialized industrial leaders like semiconductor manufacturer Elmos Semiconductor and automotive parts producer Magyar Suzuki (though Suzuki trades via Hungarian Depositary Receipts).
