Sun Microsystems (JAVA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) is slated to report its Q1 results in the extended-hours on October 30. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to post a loss of $0.08 per share on revenue of $3.06 billion.
JAVA gives just a firm nod to wider next-day share moves following earnings releases in the previous after-hours session, doing so 12 times compared to six narrowing moves over the last five years of quarters we've tracked.
In the near-term, the stock has widened its share movement in the last four consecutive quarters.
On July 31, 2008, JAVA declined 9.3% in pre-market trade beating on earnings but also noting it didn't expect to be profitable in the then-current quarter. The stock turned deeper in the red in the following regular session, sliding 12.3% by the day's close.
On May 1, 2008, the stock fell 14.8% during evening trading after JAVA missed with Q3 revenue. The loss fattened to 22.6% the next day.

On July 30, 2007, the stock jumped 10.2% in the evening hours after reporting Q4 revenue in line and swinging to profit. The gain was more than halved, to 4.3% the next day, however.
