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 IHG's third-quarter results, with room revenue up 5.3% as US demand offset weakness in China, alongside sizeable shareholder returns. New Holiday Inn signings in India and Laos added to the positive tone.
