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 mostly routine Argos and Sainsbury's Black Friday and Christmas deals, which are mildly positive. A soup recall and a warning to shoppers about some foods pulled the balance slightly negative.

- Argos Black Friday deals
