Why is Equinox Gold Corp. (EQX) stock moving?
EQX rallied from about $10.00 on Nov 3 to a $12.20 intraday high on Nov 9, with the biggest move on Nov 4 (+12.8% to $11.28 on about 29.1M shares), the same day the Los Filos restart capital was approved. Q3 results on Nov 9 showed record revenue of about $1.05B, which beat the $1.000B estimate, and 237,019 oz of gold produced, but adjusted EPS of $0.19 was only in line. The company also declared a small $0.0225 quarterly dividend. On Nov 10 the stock reversed, falling 7.1% to $11.23 on heavy volume of 15.8M shares and 64,877 trades, which suggests some selling after the earnings run-up. The close is still about 8% above the Oct 22 level of $10.36. Overall, the fundamental news is constructive (revenue beat, a restart project moving ahead), but the in-line EPS and the post-earnings sell-off limit near-term conviction. No gold price, guidance or cost data was provided, so the longer-term view rests mainly on the Los Filos restart.

About Equinox Gold Corp.
Equinox Gold is a Canadian gold producer listed on the TSX and NYSE American, with mines and projects mostly in Canada, the US and Mexico. After merging with Orla Mining in 2026 and selling its Brazilian assets, it presents itself as a North American senior gold producer focused on growth. Its main assets include Greenstone and Valentine in Canada, Camino Rojo and Los Filos in Mexico, and the South Railroad project in Nevada.
How it makes money
Almost all of its revenue comes from mining gold and selling it at market prices. Guidance for 2026 is roughly 870,000–920,000 ounces, and Q2 2026 revenue was approximately $770 million. Profit depends heavily on the gap between the gold price and its all-in sustaining costs, which the company guides at roughly $1,900–$2,000 per ounce. It also pays a small quarterly dividend.
