Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on 3i's results, which showed a £1.62bn return and a £750m buyback. A broker cut its price target but kept its buy rating, while commentary was broadly supportive.
What drove it
- annual results
- £750m buyback
