On CAPS, 19% of the 8,433 members who have rated Netflix believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Stars Geofiz and ikkyu2, both of whom are ranked in the top 5% of our community.

Two weeks ago, Geofiz wrote that the Netflix bear case all boiled down to price: "Great company, but seriously overvalued at this time. Up to this point, [Netflix] has had the scene pretty much all to itself, but the Apples and Googles of the world cannot and will not allow that to continue."

While most Fools agree that Netflix is truly a great business, it's the stock's lofty price tag that our community seems to have problems with. With cash-rich tech titans Amazon, Apple, and Google only looking to increase their digital streaming offerings, many question just how well Netflix's 70-ish P/E discounts the competitive risks.

CAPS All-Star ikkyu2 explains:

Where's the moat? Streaming services like Netflix, that aren't Netflix, can waltz right in and take share from Netflix, eroding their margins. The company's valued like it had a natural monopoly. It hardly does; Netflix streaming is a great technology, but in the grand scheme of things there's not that much content available. If a company with experience contracting with oldmedia companies (Apple?) ever makes good on Qwest's old "Ride the Light" ad campaign, "Every movie ever made, instant on demand," they'll make Netflix look like amateur hour.
