On CAPS, 65% of the 585 members who have rated Pandora believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those Fools, tshef, succinctly summed up the bear case for our community:
With the current Pandora model, the company will not be able to keep up with the multiple new options that are beginning to emerge. As Spotify continues to increase its presence in the music industry, and with the emergence of apps such as Tunein and iheartradio, I believe that Pandora is going to have trouble keeping up their revenue stream. With a price/book ratio of [22], the stock appears to be significantly overpriced.
Of course, that short pitch doesn't even come close to telling the entire story for Pandora. You're in luck, though.
