Brokers wrapped EUR 6.2m in deals in a week marked by the release of quarterly results of several companies.

The most coveted item, pharma company Krka, which accounted for 2.34m in deals, lost 7.34% to EUR 42.90.

Andrej Zakotnik of the brokerage GBD told the STA that the Novo-mesto based drug maker's decision to launch a buyback of its own shares did nothing to prevent depreciation.

Krka also "proposed to pay out dividends at EUR 1.50 gross each, which according to the current value means a 3.5% dividend yield", Zakotnik added.

Following NKBM on the losers' side was energy company Petrol, which was down 7.61% to EUR 170.

Telco Telekom Slovenije, which reported EUR 15.4m in group net profit in the first quarter of 2012, up 6% over the same period last year, lost 3.65% to EUR 68.89.

The group's revenues and operating profit were however down 1% to EUR 193.8m and EUR 22.8m, respectively.

Household appliance maker Gorenje, which slid 2% to EUR 4.90, announced it had made EUR 2.1m in net profit in the first three months, which is up 12.9% over last year's first quarter.

Retailer Mercator, where Toni Balažič took over as the new CEO on Friday, lost 2.31% to EUR 125.
