News from the 24 hours to Monday morning, 9 November 2026.
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 thin, with a regulatory threat to nicotine pouches in Kenya weighing on the tone. A roundup of shareholder changes was broadly balanced.
What drove it
- Kenya nicotine pouch ban risk
- shareholder changes
