On CAPS, 12% of the 66 members who have rated Booz Allen believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, ddttox, succinctly summed up the bear case for our community:

Booz Allen is going through very challenging times. They have just instituted significant pay cuts for mid level management and most of the talented folks they have are looking to leave as soon as they can find another position. ... This combined with the fact that the government consulting market is shrinking and Booz has been unable to gain traction in the commercial market means that they are on a long term downward trend and possibly a death spiral.
