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 mainly about Babcock opening a skills centre and breaking ground on a logistics hub at Devonport. That investment in its site leans mildly positive.
What drove it
- Devonport investment
- skills centre
- logistics hub
