2306 GMT - ResMed's 12% on-year growth in December-quarter U.S. device sales is early evidence of the positive impact that tech wearables and weight-loss drugs are having on awareness of sleep apnea, Goldman Sachs analyst Davin Thillainathan says. He tells clients in a note that this awareness is translating into demand for ResMed's breathing-tech products. Thillainathan sees the result highlighting the defensiveness of ResMed's existing patient cohort against a backdrop of rising GLP-1 drug usage. GS lifts its target price by 0.2% to A$49.00 and keeps a buy rating on the stock. Shares are at A$40.18 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
