News from the 24 hours to Sunday morning, 1 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
There was little coverage: a general market commentary on the shares and a report that the government is weighing an unprecedented alteration to water bills. The second item gives the day a mildly negative lean.
What drove it
- water bill reform
- share price commentary
