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 focused on Rolls-Royce's continuing share buyback and a reported but unconfirmed £200 million UltraFan grant. Sector jitters and questions over the shares after a strong run temper the mildly positive tone.
What drove it
- share buyback
- unconfirmed UltraFan grant
- sector jitters
