Gilford Securities upgraded shares of Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) to a Buy rating from its previous rating of Hold.

The firm believes that shares of Callaway have fallen far enough that they feel comfortable raising their valuation rating on the shares. The firm notes that they have been on the side lines for sometime now and that the price is finally right, "BOB."

With Q1 and Q2 both ending in disappointing results, Gilford Securities is not anticipating anything over "par" for Q3 and Q4, but actually expects the company to be in the rough.

With the stock only trading at around $0.13 above its tangible book value, the firm highlights how attractive it.

An analyst at Gilford Securities comments, "We always felt that ELY would trade into the $5’s, and now that we are here we want investors to be sure to know that when it does trade there, it’s a good opportunity to buy the stock...So anyone considering acquiring the stock based upon our recommendation needs to tell themselves that Q3 and Q4 will be very tough to look at."
