Legal & General (LGEN): news on Thursday 12 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 12 November 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 thin, with the main story being planning approval for a £30m logistics hub that L&G is developing with Verdion. A separate piece on its former headquarters had little bearing on the company.
What drove it
- Greenwich logistics hub approval
- former HQ redevelopment
