0336 GMT - ResMed's expanded U.S. manufacturing footprint is seen by Goldman Sachs analysts as likely to further assist strong gross margin accretion at the breath-tech manufacturer. A 70bp expansion in 3Q gross margin was key to ResMed's stronger-than-expected profit for the period, they say. Keeping a buy rating on the stock, the analysts tell clients in a note that margin accretion to date reflects operating leverage from manufacturing capacity expansion, discipline on labor costs, and the optimization of raw materials. GS lifts its target price by 5.1% to A$49.30. Shares are down 0.7% at A$36.68. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
