Games Workshop (GAW): news on Saturday 24 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 24 October 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. Cancellation of the Necromunda RPG only a month following its announcement, and a share price fall on Friday, weighed on sentiment, while dividend strength, Warhammer growth and product coverage offered some support.
What drove it
- Necromunda RPG cancellation
- share price fall
- dividend and Warhammer growth
