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 centred on Reckitt trimming its full-year revenue forecast despite solid third-quarter growth, with consumer caution cited. An analyst view on fragile developed-market demand added to the negative lean, while a Dettol hygiene campaign was mildly positive.
