Nando is sizzling back into profit after
0:02
nearly a decade in the red. Nando has
0:04
finally clawed its way back into profit,
0:07
posting a pre-tax figure of 38.2 million
0:10
pounds for 2025. This is the first time
0:12
since 2016 the company has seen Black
0:15
Inc. on its balance sheet. But here's
0:17
the twist. Looming tax heights by Rachel
0:20
Reeves might bite into the newfound
0:22
success. The South African-owned chain
0:24
warns that increased costs from these
0:26
taxes along with rising wages and energy
0:29
prices are set to challenge its fiscal
0:30
comeback this year. In fact, although
0:32
Nando's doubled its operating profit to
0:35
146.6 million, these pressures are
0:38
casting a shadow over the ambitious
0:40
plans to open 14 new UK restaurants.
0:43
Despite all these hurdles, Nando has
0:45
been managing well with innovative
0:47
strategies like productivity gains and
0:49
rolling out energy efficient grills. The
0:51
brand's resilience is clear. Its
0:53
headcount has grown and customer demand
0:55
remains strong. But will these efforts
0:57
be enough to counterbalance these cost
0:58
hikes? Nando story is a reminder of how
1:01
even a beloved brand must navigate
1:04
complex financial landscapes. What do
1:06
you think? Canandos keep its flame
