On CAPS, 16% of the 679 members who have rated SodaStream believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those Fools, Ianwanguru, succinctly summed up the SodaStream bear case for our community:

I think the idea is losing its fizz. This is a one-trick pony with a couple different similar competing products. Unless they can get distribution agreements with real name-brand flavors to put main-line syrups in their packaging, I don't see a good differentiator on something that's ultimately a novelty product to begin with.
