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 was mostly previews ahead of the half-year results, with a general look at the shares and market mood. A dealer award from the company added a small positive note.
What drove it
- half-year results preview
- UK market outlook
