Over on CAPS, 163 of the 307 members who have rated Vornado -- or 53% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500. These Fools include CAPS All-Star dexion10 and CAPS member Gamma1113.

Just yesterday, dexion10 summed up the bear case with a simple formula: "Commercial REIT in NYC with lots of leverage and falling rents... do the math friends."

In a pitch from last month, Gamma1113 shares that bearishness, writing:

[Vornado] has big exposure to commercial real estate in NYC as well as other large cities. Although we've seen a major decline in residential real estate, the Commercial RE sector has not yet seen much of a decline. I believe that with the recent turmoil in the financial markets and the rising [unemployment], commercial RE in the large cities will experience a major decline in the next 1-2 years. Although [Vornado] has [already] declined significantly from its peak, the valuations are still high and I expect it to decline much further in the coming year or so.
