Company by company
| Company | Tone | Stories | What the coverage was about |

| RELX | +3.7 | 4 | Coverage centred on LexisNexis launching an AI-agent detection tool, which is a positive product story. |
| Pearson | +5.2 | 2 | Coverage centred on Pearson's move into AI-enabled learning, which reads as positive. |
| Sage Group | +4.5 | 2 | Coverage was light, with one valuation piece arguing the shares look undervalued thanks to AI and payments efforts, and a week-ahead preview listing Sage among those reporting. |
| Informa | +0.5 | 1 | The only relevant coverage was a market commentary piece on Informa's shares, which was broadly neutral. |
