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 the upcoming 12 November trading update, with one preview noting a downtrend in the share price. This was offset by reports of renewed investor buying and the company's small modular reactor ambitions, leaving a modestly positive lean.
