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 positive, with share price gains, a Bernstein Buy rating and strong earnings rebound commentary, plus brand news such as the World Class bartender final. Concerns over the India import probe, Casamigos scrutiny, the dividend reduction and the Wireless Festival sponsor withdrawal limited the upside.
What drove it
- share price gains
- analyst Buy ratings
- India probe and dividend cut
