Many news outlets say M&S, working with Al-Futtaim, will put its biggest non-UK foodhall at Dubai Festival City as one element of wider growth across the UAE.
The story's tone is the average of its headlines' own scores. 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.
Average tone of each outlet's headlines in this story, −10 to +10. Impact = headlines × strength of tone.
