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 positive, centred on charity fundraising, community support, new product launches and seasonal price cuts. Minor drags came from a scam using its name, expiring Clubcard vouchers and talk of a supermarket rules crackdown.
What drove it
- community and charity work
- product launches
- Christmas promotions
