On CAPS, 86% of the 90 members who have rated Multimedia Games believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this week, one of those Fools, TMFInnovator, explained why the stock still has plenty of room to run:

Wall Street just can't figure this one out.

-MGAM soars 19% in April after crushing estimates once again ($0.31 reported vs $0.19 estimate). But this is nothing new. MGAM has beaten estimates by AT LEAST 38% in each of the past four quarters.

-Current estimates are still below company expectations ($0.83 2013 EPS analyst estimates, vs $1 company expectations). If $1/share does indeed happen in 2013, the stock is still pricey at $26 today. But earnings doubled in '11 and then quadrupled in '12, so the valuation isn't exactly unreasonable.

-The economy is improving, and the gaming industry should benefit from additional consumer discretionary income.

Though perhaps not a "buy and forget about it" company, I'm willing to make the bet that they outperform in the short-term.
