Tone of the day
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: a report on Birkenhead sewage works painted United Utilities as under pressure, while a £720m tender for the Windermere programme pointed to major investment under way.
What drove it
- sewage works scrutiny
- Windermere programme tender
