On CAPS, 61% of the 397 members who have rated Dillard's believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just yesterday, one of those Fools, adamathm, listed a few of the obstacles facing Dillard's in the New Year: "This stock has had a great run, but it's gotten too expensive. The payroll tax increase, consumer uncertainty around the budget deficit, and potential resilience at [J.C. Penney] will be major 2013 headwinds."
