On CAPS, 50% of the 661 members who have rated Zynga believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those Fools, tunafizzle, summed up the Zynga bear case for our community:
Absurdly overvalued. Almost a billion shares out there, market cap is [$3 billion] for a company [whose] profits are negative and has zero products coming out. Any games they do generate revenue on are tied to [Facebook (FB 1.16%)]. ... Lawsuits, over-valuation, no long term model will make this a penny stock soon. Short it long.
