Over on CAPS, some 38% of the 183 members who have rated Brunswick believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Stars BigFatBEAR and TSIF, both of whom are ranked in the top 1% of our community.

Late last month, BigFatBEAR offered a commonsense bear case against Brunswick: "Bleeding cash, demand looks slack for at least a year."

In a pitch from last week, TSIF knocked down even more bullish pins:

Brunswick Corp is another stock on a tear back from perhaps unjustified lows in March, but well above actual value in this economy after a solid year of losses that have consumed over 80% of Brunswick Corp's net tangible assets. ... This gives [Brunswick] little wiggle room should another 7/10 split come along. The boat shows appear to be little help in its luxury boating division. With such strong losses, Brunswick is another example of a stock that ran up well past its current value in the recent rally to nearly 2X book that is highly leveraged. With some military and a great deal of government on its order books, stimulus efforts may help Brunswick, but at the current stock price it is NOT investor grade!
