On CAPS, 39% of the 695 members who have rated Kodak believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include fellow Fool Rich Duprey (TMFCop), who is ranked in the top 20% of our community, and acegdl007.

Late last year, Rich brought Kodak's not-so-pretty picture to our community's attention: "Revenue gains are predicated on one-time, non-recurring infusions of cash. Actual product sales are declining. Spending too much time in court litigating dubious IP patents. Digital picture previews? Really?"

Over the next five years, Kodak's profits are expected to decline at a steep 12% per year.  Most of its rivals are expected to grow at double-digit rates, including Canon (22%), HP (11%), and Sony (84%), as well as photo equipment stocks X-Rite (Nasdaq: XRIT) and Ballantyne Strong (AMEX: BTN) both clocking in with 15% expected growth.

CAPS member acegdl007 elaborates on the bear case:

After failing to embrace the digital revolution in photography, Kodak is hurting. Kodak is a well known brand name due to its history but I'm not sure what innovation the company stands to offer moving forward.

Without even paying dividends to stock holders, about the only thing I can see [Kodak] owners looking forward to is if someone buys out Kodak (a rumor that recently surfaced -- and occasionally comes and goes).
