BT Group (BT.A): news on Thursday 12 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 12 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 mixed: higher half-year earnings, a strong share price run and a pension valuation were positives. These were offset by technical weakness in the shares and a Starlink controversy hampering BT's direct-to-device ambitions.
What drove it
- half-year earnings
- pension valuation
- share price technicals
