Dropping profits and stock prices have analysts speculating that Sun could be a target for either acquisition or a restructuring in which the company would sell off parts of the business and focus on a smaller set of technologies. In a July 31 report, the 451 Group analyst firm raised the possibility of Sun being acquired: 'Sun's sunken stock price creates a relative bargain considering its roughly $4 billion cash on hand, sizeable intellectual property and patent portfolio, and of course, its respected technology and products'.

Agreed, the article if anything shows that "Analyst" for the most part have no clue what they are talking about.
SUN is too large to be acquired, and they are positioning themselves and doing a lot of things right: Niagaras are bringing a lot of revenue. Hopefuly they can get their act together with Rock.
And I assume they are shifting to a services-oriented company based around solaris. Which is a good move IMHO.
