The Mercury News and DealBreaker.com are reporting on mounting speculation that Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy could soon be departing the company.
Sun reports earnings on Monday, and analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call expect the company to report a six-cent per share loss for its most recent quarter. With Sun partners like Advanced Micro Devices and rivals like Hewlett-Packard both enjoying successes, it would not be surprising for McNealy to start feeling extreme pressure to show black ink sooner rather than later.
McNealy has surprised the industry before, including his deal to make peace with Microsoft and invest $150 million in Apple when that company was down and out.
Perhaps investors are ruing McNealy's decision not to buy Apple outright when he had the chance.
