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 dominated by Indian competition approval for Xavier Niel's purchase of a 16.2 per cent stake in Vodafone, which reads as a vote of confidence from a major investor. Smaller items covered the chief executive's GSMA role and a joint satellite spectrum bid.
What drove it
- Xavier Niel stake approval
- GSMA chair role
- satellite spectrum bid
