Linux Has Sun Shining Brighter By Meredith Derby Editorial Assistant 06/06/2003 11:14 AM EDT Sterling Research raised its target price on Sun Microsystems (SUNW:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) and reiterated its buy investment rating, citing, in part, the growing interest in Linux open source software. The research firm's new target price is $7, up from $5, and the potential exists for upward adjustments. Sterling said it sees the company's market share position for its Linux/Unix servers and its application server software gaining ground. Also, strong euro vs. dollar comparisons and Linux's increased reputation as a viable operating system could increase Sun's revenue and earnings. Analysts, on average, expect Sun to break even for the full year and earn 2 cents a share in the current fourth quarter. Shares of Sun were up about 7.5% in morning trading to $5.29 following Sterling's comments. thestreet.com
