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 dominated by repeated reports of a woman's death and the evacuation of a Rochdale store, along with a customer complaint and a possible pork supply shake-up. Some positive items, including the winter food drive, a supplier listing and the suggestion that discounters are slowing, partly offset this.
What drove it
- Rochdale store death
- pork supply rules
- winter food drive
