Vodafone Group (VOD): news on Thursday 12 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 12 November 2026.
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 centred on half-year results with raised full-year guidance and a higher dividend, which analysts and commentators viewed favourably. Job cuts, the German problems and a charge, plus a Sell rating from UBS, tempered the tone.
What drove it
- half-year results
- raised guidance
- job cuts
