SSE (SSE): news on Wednesday 28 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, 28 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 says SSE picked a contractor for 1.4 GW of work and is buying back its own shares. That leans positive for its project pipeline and shareholder returns.
What drove it
- offshore wind contract
- share buyback
