EZCORP (EZPW) has been downgraded from Buy to Hold following a strong stock rally driven by rising gold prices and acquisitions. The recent gains were supported by one-off factors like surging gold prices, inventory gains, and large mergers, which are unlikely to continue. The stock now trades at about three times its tangible book value, exceeding what its sustainable earnings can justify. Going forward, performance is expected to normalize as gold price benefits diminish and acquisition growth slows, limiting further upside potential.
