News from the 24 hours to Friday morning, 6 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 mostly about the group's third-quarter results, which were described as strong, though one broker cut its price target. Fitch affirmed its ratings and new dollar bonds were priced, while branch closures weighed slightly.
What drove it
- Q3 results
- Fitch rating affirmed
- branch closures
