Over on CAPS, fully 42 of the 74 All-Star members who have rated P.F. Chang's -- or 57% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Stars bigpeach and ravali.

Two weeks ago, bigpeach wrote that his underperform rating "has nothing to do with the current economic environment, or [P.F. Chang's] itself, rather it is an industry call." Our CAPS member explains: "Restaurants are classic underperformers. Margins are too low and competition is too high."

In a pitch from last month, ravali cites a fluffy quote by co-CEO Robert Vivian (from the latest quarterly earnings call) as reason to remain skeptical:

The management predicts a 6-7% year over year decrease for the year 2009, although they claim their slightly ahead on their forecast for the year so far.... They expected a slightly sharper decline in the first half because of "eternal optimism in the sense that we're hopeful that ... all of the activity that's going on from a macro standpoint will begin to have some sort of traction by the end of the year and that perhaps the consumer will emerge from a very dark clouded psychological perspective that they have currently.
