According to the Wall Street Journal, Steve Jobs had a liver transplant approximately two months ago. Jobs, the CEO and co-founder of Apple, has reportedly recovered well and is still on schedule to return to the company by the beginning of July.

Jobs, who revealed in 2004 that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, has had his health in the headlines ever since. Considering that he’s viewed as one of the most important CEOs in the world, there’s no doubt that the media will be asking for more confirmation and more information.

Apple shareholders have been known to sell off Apple shares if Jobs’ health is rumored to be declining. With that in mind, it’ll be interesting to see what happens to Apple stock on Monday.

In January, Apple announced that Jobs would miss the first six months of 2009 to concentrate on his health. In the interim, Tim Cook was elevated and has been calling the shots.
