On CAPS, 27% of the 33 members who have rated Millenial Media believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just yesterday, one of those bears, All-Star MegaShort, touched on Millenial Media's seemingly unsustainable valuation:
At [120x] forward earnings, they are much more expensive than competitors like Google, Yahoo, Apple, etc. But unlike those companies and Facebook, they are a pure advertising company without their own content platform. That seems like a major competitive problem! [Millenial Media's] price is based on the assumption they can achieve margins comparable to elite content/advertising competitors and that is not going to happen.
