News from the 24 hours to Friday morning, 13 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 centred on Rolls-Royce speeding up its share buybacks with a £1.5bn programme while keeping its 2026 profit guidance, which lifted the shares and drew broker support. A few pieces noted profit-taking and one target cut, which tempers the tone slightly.
What drove it
- accelerated buyback
- unchanged profit guidance
- broker ratings
