10/04 7:30P (RT) Sun Micro to host morning call, won't say
why
Story 1574 (SUNW, I/DPR, I/ENT,
I/US)
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct 4 (Reuters) - Network computer
maker
Sun Microsystems Inc.<SUNW.O> will hold a conference call
on
Friday morning, but the company declined to say
why.
Sun, which Wall Street sees as a prime candidate to
warn
that its September ending quarter did not meet
earlier
expectations, following bad news by other computer makers,
said
in a statement it would hold the call at 9:30 a.m.
EDT.
A spokeswoman declined to give the reason or say
which
executives would
speak.
Analysts have cut Sun forecasts for its first
quarter,
ended in September, to an expected 1-7 cent loss per
share,
before special items, on sales of $3.3 billion. Last year
it
reported a 15 cent per share profit on sales of $5.0 billion
in
the quarter, Thomson Financial/First Call
reported.
A number of other computer and systems makers have said
the
Sept. 11 hijacking attacks hurt sales at a crucial point
for
business. Sun shares closed up 29 cents at $9.29 on the
Nasdaq
on
Thursday.
