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 mostly local store openings, community donation drives and festive product news, which lean positive. This was offset by a product recall, an unfavourable price comparison, staff criticism of its Christmas advert and a share price decline.
What drove it
- local store openings and community schemes
- product recall and price comparison
- share price weakness
