Over on CAPS, some 22% of the 1,238 members who have rated Bed Bath & Beyond believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Star xserver, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community, and wolfhounds.

Last week, xserver raised a red flag on some recent insider activity: "Overvalued, insider sell offs, and bleak retail outlook." Note: Soon after Bed Bath & Beyond posted better-than-expected results earlier this month, co-founders Leonard Feinstein and Warren Eisenberg each sold more than $30 million worth of stock.

In a pitch from one day later, wolfhounds reviewed the quarter's earnings:

Earnings "blew away" forecast by 11 cents, but like they say on Wall St., it's the quality of the earnings that count.

With Linens n Things out of business [Bed Bath] should have the market to itself. Customers, it therefore goes, are locked in. Hmmm, is that why same store sales declined "only" 4.3% and earnings declined substantially even with the beat. Let's look out further. Consumer debt is falling big time, credit limits and card cancellations are escalating as is unemployment and foreclosures. Sometime in the future [Bed Bath] will regain it's earnings momentum, but not in the next couple of years.
