Sun is expected to lose US$0.04 a share in the September quarter and to earn US$0.01 in the December period, according to First Call. The company will report results on Oct. 18.
Other analysts agreed that the results make firings likely.
"It's definitely on the table," said Megan Graham-Hackett, a Standard & Poor's analyst who rates the stock a "hold" and doesn't own the shares. "With the muted sales outlook, we're kind of surprised they didn't do it sooner. They've been kind of crying for it."
