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 routine, with community funding, new store openings and supplier listings leaning positive. Criticism of its Christmas advert from drivers, a soup withdrawal and a parking error at one store held the tone down.
What drove it
- Christmas advert criticism
- community funding
- product listings
