Land Securities (LAND): news on Thursday 22 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 22 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 mostly concerned Landsec putting on hold its £1.5bn plan to redevelop the Lewisham shopping centre after falling out with the Green-run council about affordable housing. That leans negative, although a report that it is issuing new shares to purchase Newcastle's Metrocentre provided a small counterweight.
What drove it
- Lewisham redevelopment shelved
- council affordable housing dispute
- Metrocentre equity raise
