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 mainly about Prudential raising its dividend and share buyback, which reflects well on the company. A minor commentary piece from its asset management arm added a slightly positive note.
What drove it
- dividend increase
- share buyback
