0140 GMT - ResMed loses its bull at Morgan Stanley, where analyst David L. Bailey reassesses his margin assumptions. Lowering his recommendation on the breath-tech provider to equal-weight from overweight, Bailey says that recent commentary from key component suppliers has highlighted pricing increases. He tells clients in a note that currency moves are also likely to be a near-term headwind. Price increases and operational efficiencies are seen as potential offsets, but his forecast for flat FY 2027 gross margins sits slightly below consensus. MS lowers its target price on dual-listed ResMed's U.S. stock by 20% to US$230.00. Shares closed at US$186.29. ResMed's Australia-listed stock is down 3.5% at 26.585 Australian dollars.
