On CAPS, 22% of the 23 members who have rated SuperMedia believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include DarthMaul09 and MagicDiligence.

Two weeks ago, DarthMaul09 touched on SuperMedia's seemingly outdated business model: "Like printed newspapers and magazines who live on ad revenue, I have a hard time seeing how this company will outperform the Google app or another iPhone app which can give you the same information faster."

In a pitch from last month, MagicDiligence shares a little on bearish background on the stock. Here's an excerpt:

Traditionally the Yellow Pages are an excellent source for local businesses to acquire customer leads. Idearc was spun off from Verizon in 2006, filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2009, and reemerged with the new moniker at the start of this year. ...

From a big-picture perspective, though, there is little growth potential in SuperMedia. ... In the online space, SuperPages.com is at a major disadvantage to the big search engines like Google, which already incorporate locale when serving search ads. Location-based services have been pushed heavily in many mobile device applications, further eroding any advantages SuperMedia may have had. In all likelihood, SuperMedia's revenues will continue their long, steady decline.
