News from the 24 hours to Sunday morning, 8 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 centred on BT increasing its interim dividend to 2.50p while fibre take-up reached 41 per cent. Both points reflect well on the company, so the day leans positive.
What drove it
- interim dividend increase
- fibre take-up
