7月Sun公司2003财年第四财季的财务报告再一次昭示了公司的危险处境——这己经是其连续第9个月的业绩下滑。分析师们开始担心Sun能否从科技产业开支下降的打击中恢复元气。由于业绩报告没有达到华尔街的预期(2003财年的净亏损为21.3亿美元),Sun公司的股价曾暴跌了19％。3年来,Sun公司的毛利润一路下滑,至少减少了20个百分点,而股票价格更是暴跌了92％之多,市值至少缩水1900亿美元。 July Sun’s fiscal 2003 fourth fiscal quarterly financial report once again demonstrated the company’s dangerous situation - it is already the ninth consecutive month of its decline in performance. Analysts began to worry about whether Sun could regain the brunt of declining tech spending. Shares of Sun Microsystems plunged 19% as earnings reports failed to meet Wall Street expectations (a net loss of $ 2.13 billion in fiscal year 2003). For three years, Sun’s gross profit slipped by at least 20 percentage points, while its share price plunged as much as 92% and its market value by at least 190 billion U.S. dollars.
