TIGER BRANDS LTD warned of targeted price hikes on Monday afternoon to offset supply-chain risks linked to the Iran war. Shares rose 2% after half-year headline earnings per share increased 0.6% to 9.80 rand. Rising fuel costs from logistics expansion and geopolitical pressure on consumer spending threaten second-half profitability, though management expects internal improvements and pricing to mitigate the impact.
