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 mixed: forced labour allegations, a product recall and dairy farm suspensions weighed on the company. Against that, rising shares, Christmas delivery expansion, loyalty offers and a favourable view of discounter expansion slowing helped.
What drove it
- supply chain allegations
- share price gains
- Christmas services
