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 light, mainly a tree-planting pledge from the Smiths Foundation and a general investor-watch piece. The tone leans slightly positive because of the reputational benefit of the environmental commitment.
