How to read a score. 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.
Company by company
| Company | Tone | Stories | What the coverage was about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endeavour Mining | −3.7 | 40 | Coverage centred on the third-quarter results, where record free cash flow and approval of the Assafou project were overshadowed by Mana mine stoppages and output guidance towards the lower end. |
| Rio Tinto | −2.0 | 18 | Coverage was dominated by the pause at the Nemaska lithium plant in Quebec and related job cuts, which weighed on sentiment, alongside a technical bearish note on the shares. |
| Anglo American | +0.3 | 10 | Coverage was split between progress on the De Beers sale, helped by Botswana's backing, and European scrutiny of the nickel disposal to MMG. |
| Fresnillo | −4.7 | 6 | Coverage was dominated by a share price fall on Thursday, with Fresnillo named among the FTSE 100's weakest performers on heavy volume. |
| Antofagasta | −1.2 | 3 | Coverage was thin and mixed: an autonomous truck accident at the Centinela mine and a share price dip against the market weighed, while a piece on its copper expansion was supportive. |
| Glencore | +4.0 | 2 | Coverage was thin, mainly a routine share price quote and a report on Yancoal's renewed coal trading caps with Glencore running to 2029. |
