News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 24 October 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
The only relevant coverage was the award of a contract to Balfour Beatty for a substation linking three wind farms at Dogger Bank, which points to continued progress on a project SSE is involved in. The other headlines were unrelated filings or generic stock lists.
What drove it
- Dogger Bank wind farm contract
