2157 GMT - Plumbing-fittings retailer Reece's increased share-buyback program reflects three key positives, says Ord Minnett. Reece says it now intends to repurchase shares worth A$85 million, up from an original goal of A$35 million. It follows a A$365 million buyback that was completed in October. Analyst James Casey says the bigger target illustrates management's view that the stock may be undervalued. It also underscores the company's robust financial position and disciplined capital-allocation approach, and confidence in the business's long-term outlook. Ord Minnett has a "buy" call on Reece and A$14.50/share price target. Reece ended Monday at A$13.05. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
