0123 GMT - Breathing-tech manufacturer ResMed keeps its bull at Jarden following drugmaker Eli Lilly's weight-loss drug trial results that the investment advisor's analysts say were largely as anticipated. A pair of late-stage studies showed Eli Lilly's weight-loss drug significantly reduced the severity of sleep apnea in obese adults, but the Jarden analysts say it is important to recognize that the trials were not a head-to-head contest with devices such as those sold by ResMed. They say that so-called CPAP machines remain the gold-standard for obstructive sleep-apnea treatment. Jarden keeps an overweight rating and A$31.33 target price on ResMed's Australia-listed securities, which are up 1.0% at A$27.91. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
