News from the 24 hours to Sunday morning, 25 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 mainly a weekly review noting that IG is seeking a UK gambling licence, alongside a rival's acquisition. The tone leans mildly positive as the licence application is a company-led move.
What drove it
- UK gambling licence application
