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 positive, focused on regulatory clearances for the group's digital securities depository and an approved connection within the UK's digital gilt pilot. Its Octus deal and UBS rating it a Buy added to the favourable tone.
What drove it
- digital gilt pilot approvals
- Octus acquisition
- UBS Buy rating
