0030 GMT - ResMed's bull at Morgan Stanley reckons that the breath-tech provider's strong balance sheet can support continued share buybacks over its next six quarters. Analyst David L. Bailey tells clients in a note that he assumes a buyback of US$175 million in both of the third and fourth quarters, taking the fiscal 2026 total to US$675 million. He sees capacity for more to follow thanks to ResMed's strong cash flow generation, with US$175 million per quarter anticipated through fiscal 2027. He forecasts a net cash position of US$1.6 billion at the end of fiscal 2027, which suggests acquisitions are also an option. MS keeps a US$310.00 target price and overweight rating on ResMed's U.S.-listed stock, which last closed at US$258.31. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
