On CAPS, 62% of the 29 members who have rated LifeLock believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, SaiyanBroker, succinctly summed up the LifeLock bear case for our community:

The company has had a nice annual sales growth rate and EBITDA is on the climb. However, I'm very hesitant about the long term potential for this company.

The target market, I wager, has had near maximum exposure to this service meaning future sales growth will mostly rest on continuing customers rather than new ones. As is the case with most companies like this, I expect job cuts due to declining sales forecasts, resulting higher pressure from sales departments to sell new products to dedicated customers, resulting in a declining consumer base (especially when a newer security company looks like a fresh alternative). We will see what happens.

P/BV and P/S are also valued way too high right now. ... This company is simply not worth what the market is currently spotting it at.
