On CAPS, 16% of the 3,393 members who have rated Best Buy believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include pfountaine and Louebsch.

Earlier this fall, pfountaine warned Fools about buying into Best Buy: "They seem to have completely lost their way regarding customer service. As online companies increase their ability to efficiently deliver products of this type, volume will slip, and profit will disappear."

Over the past year, in fact, Best Buy's top-line declined 0.5%. Meanwhile, rivals Amazon, Apple, and even Wal-Mart have posted revenue growth of 42%, 66%, and 5%, respectively.

CAPS member Louebsch expands on the underperform argument:

Best Buy doesn't sell anything that you can't buy off the internet for ... less. Unless someone has an immediate need for a DVD player or video game, there is no reason to go to this store. Even Target and [Wal-Mart] are carrying similar products at much lower prices. Until Best Buy figures out what it wants to be known best for, this stock is going to tank.
