0435 GMT - ResMed's bull at Morgans likes the divestment of its MatrixCare division for the way it sharpens the breath-tech provider's strategic focus. Analyst Derek Jellinek explains in a note that the US$490 million sale simplifies the investment case for dual-listed ResMed by exiting the somewhat peripheral vertical of aged care, and increasing its exposure to core franchises including sleep devices and masks. The divestment monetizes a mature asset and funds shareholder returns that should help support ResMed's share price, Jellinek tells clients. Morgans has a buy rating on ResMed's Australia-listed stock and a target price of 41.72 Australian dollars. Shares are down 0.3% at A$31.345. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
