National Grid (NG): 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 leans positive because of an upgraded earnings outlook and a share price helped by it. Local opposition to projects, including a possible judicial review and residents' concerns over a power line, tempers this.
What drove it
- upgraded earnings outlook
- share price moves
- local project opposition
