Equinox Gold Stock Trading Cheaper Than Industry: Should You Buy Now?
Equinox Gold Corp.'s EQX stock looks attractive from a valuation perspective. EQX is currently trading at a forward price/earnings of 6.54X, a roughly 51.2% discount to the Zacks Mining – Gold industry's average of 13.4X. EQX is trading at a discount to its peers, B2Gold Corp. BTG, Eldorado Gold Corporation EGO and IAMGOLD Corporation IAG. Equinox Gold, B2Gold, Eldorado Gold and IAMGOLD have a Value Score of A, each. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Technical indicators show that EQX stock broke out above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on May 30, 2025. It is also currently trading above the 200-day SMA. The 50-day SMA continues to read higher than the 200-day SMA following a golden crossover on Jan. 29, 2025, indicating a bullish trend. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Equinox Gold's cheap valuation should lure investors seeking value. But is the time right to buy EQX's shares based on its attractive valuation? Let's delve deeper. Equinox Gold has rapidly evolved into a diversified, growth-focused gold producer. With operating mines spanning Canada, the United States and Brazil, it is targeting over one million ounces of annual production through an ambitious pipeline of expansions. It currently has five producing mines and three expansion and development projects that are expected to add roughly 300,000 ounces of annual production over the next few years. Greenstone, which achieved commercial production last November, is ramping up toward the full production target rate of 196,000 tons per day (tpd), which is expected in the second half of 2025. Greenstone is expected to produce around 390,000 ounces of gold annually at full production. Also, an underground expansion at the Aurizona mine in Brazil will extend the mine life to 11 years and expand gold production with an average annual gold production of 137,000 ounces. The Phase 2 project at Castle Mountain in California is expected to increase production to an average of 218,000 ounces annually over a 14-year Phase 2 mine life, with further potential for expansion from with its growth strategy, Equinox Gold, in February 2025, agreed to acquire all outstanding common shares of Calibre Mining Corp. Through this transaction, Equinox Gold will enhance its asset base with operating mines in Nicaragua and the United States, as well as earlier-stage assets in the United States. Also, the acquisition includes the Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland, Canada, which is expected to commence gold production in the third quarter of 2025. The deal received approval from both EQX shareholders and Calibre securityholders on May 1, 2025, and is expected to close around the end of June 2025. The combination of Greenstone and Valentine Gold will create a Canadian gold mining powerhouse with more than 1.2 million ounces of annual production, and benefit from low-cost production growth, increased cash flow, lower operating costs and a stronger balance sheet. The combined entity, with around 23 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves, will be well-placed to capitalize on the favorable gold price environment while deleveraging the balance sheet using strong cash flow generation. Gold prices have rallied roughly 27% this year, largely attributable to aggressive trade policies, including sweeping new import tariffs announced by President Donald Trump that have intensified global trade tensions and heightened investor anxiety. Also, central banks worldwide have been accumulating gold reserves, led by risks arising from Trump's policies. Prices of the yellow metal catapulted to a record high of $3,500 per ounce on April 22 as the U.S. dollar tumbled amid President Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and call for an immediate reduction in interest rates. Increased purchases by central banks, hopes of interest rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions are factors expected to help the yellow metal sustain the rally. While gold prices have fallen from their April 2025 highs, they remain favorable. The yellow metal is gaining from safe-haven demand triggered by trade and geopolitical uncertainties, and is currently hovering above the $3,300 per ounce level. Higher gold prices are expected to boost EQX's profitability and drive cash flow generation. EQX has a strong balance sheet and generates substantial cash flows, which allows it to fund its growth projects. The company ended the first quarter with strong liquidity, including roughly $173 million in unrestricted cash and $65 million in an undrawn credit facility. It also generated cash flow from operations (before changes in non-cash working capital) of $73.3 million in the quarter. The company expects to pursue deleveraging in the second half of 2025, utilizing strong cash flow generation partly through the ramp-up of Greenstone. EQX's first-quarter results reveal a sharp uptick in all-in-sustaining costs (AISC) — a key indicator of cost efficiency in mining. AISC climbed to $2,065 per ounce, up roughly 6% from $1,950 per ounce in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the results from the Los Filos mine in Mexico, which has been indefinitely suspended after the expiry of its land access agreement, AISC still climbed 9% to $1,979 per ounce, underscoring operational cost inflation that threatens margins. This upside reflects higher unit costs in Brazil, and higher costs and unplanned maintenance due to winter challenges at the Greenstone mine in Canada. Higher operational costs, partly due to the suspension of Los Filos mine operations, may continue to act as headwinds in the second quarter. Equinox Gold expects roughly $35 million in mine suspension and care and maintenance charges at Los Filos in the second quarter. Nevertheless, there is a silver lining as the company envisions costs whittling down with rising production in the second half of 2025. Thanks to the rally in gold prices, EQX's shares have racked up a gain of 36% over the past year, underperforming the industry's 51.7% increase but topping the S&P 500's rise of 11.2%. Among its peers, B2Gold, Eldorado Gold and IAMGOLD have rallied 39.1%, 43.2% and 105.9%, respectively, over the same period. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Earnings estimates for EQX have been revised downward over the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 and 2026 has been revised lower over the same time frame. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EQX's 2025 and 2026 earnings implies a year-over-year rise of 230% and 106%, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.) With a strong expansion roadmap and an accretive merger on deck, EQX is positioning itself as a high-growth gold player. Higher gold prices and the ramp-up of Greenstone are expected to boost its profitability and drive cash flow generation. Despite EQX's attractive valuation, its high costs warrant caution. Cost pressures may linger into the second quarter, but the second half of 2025 promises improved unit costs and operational discipline. Therefore, holding onto this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock will be prudent for investors to capture the upside from production expansion and merger can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

'Economic heart attack': 3 top experts detail how they see a possible US debt crisis unfolding
Top experts are sounding the alarm about a potential debt crisis, Goldman Sachs said. The bank interviewed three economy pros about their outlook for the US fiscal situation. The top insights from Ray Dalio, Ken Rogoff, and Niall Ferguson are detailed below. Investor concerns over a swelling government debt load were soothed last week. But some experts say the US isn't out of the woods yet. Goldman Sachs spoke to three top economic experts — Ray Dalio, Ken Rogoff, and Niall Ferguson — about rising debt levels in the US. All three said they were worried about an impending debt crisis, particularly when considering the effects of President Donald Trump's GOP tax and spending bill, which has been estimated to add trillions to the budget deficit over the next decade. That reflects a slightly more pessimistic view than the market. After a scare last month, demand for long-dated government bonds was strong this week. It was a sign that investors are feeling more comfortable about the fiscal situation in the US, after showing nerves last month after Moody's downgraded US debt and Trump's tax bill began making its way through Congress. Here are the top points each of the experts had to make: The billionaire hedge fund manager said he sees three factors determining the outlook for the US debt. How much the government pays on debt interest relative to its revenue. If interest payments keep rising, it can "unacceptably" prevent the government from spending money on other things. How much debt the government needs to sell relative to demand. If the government needs to sell more Treasurys than people are willing to buy, interest rates will have to rise. That provides a more attractive yield to investors to hold onto the US debt, but high rates also hurt markets and the economy. How much money the central bank needs to print in other to purchase the remaining debt. If demand for US Treasurys is especially weak, the Fed can step in to purchase bonds to keep the government funded. If it has to print more money to do so, that can raise inflation and ding the value of the US dollar. "One can easily measure these signs of deterioration and see movement toward an impending debt crisis," Dalio, who has long warned of troubling debt dynamics in the US, said. "Such a crisis occurs when the constriction of debt-financed spending happens, like a debt-induced economic heart attack." To prevent a crisis, Dalio said he believed the government should reduce the budget deficit to 3% of GDP. Reducing the debt could cause interest rates to decline around 150 basis points, he estimated, reducing interest payments on the national debt and stimulating the economy. Given Trump's current agenda, Rogoff thinks the US will likely enter a debt crisis within the next four to five years. That's faster than the five- to seven-year timeline he predicted prior to Trump's reelection. "The notion that debt is a free lunch that had been pushed by many economy-watchers is absurd," Rogoff said. "Today's larger deficit on top of already-high debt levels is setting up for a crisis that will necessitate a significant adjustment." Rogoff thinks a debt crisis could play out in two ways: Inflation spikes and results in an economic shock. "Exactly what that shock will look like is difficult to say, but it will likely be more painful than the Covid inflation shock that precipitated only relatively minor adjustments in bond markets," Rogoff said. The government could manage the debt by keeping interest rates artificially low and restricting capital flows. But those measures will hurt economic growth and essentially serve as a tax on savers in the economy, he said. Investors have long been concerned about the US debt, but the outlook is especially worrying now because long-term interest rates are going through a "normalization" from low levels that stretched over the past decade, Rogoff said. "People need to recognize that higher interest rates are here to stay and that a return to the low-rate era of the past might well prove wishful thinking," he added. Ferguson thinks a crisis could be triggered by a military challenge that results in the US losing its position as a global power, as it goes deeper into debt. The British-American financial historian said his favorite gauge to determine how unsustainable national debt was is when a country spends more on interest payments for its debt than on defense. That rule, which he calls "Ferguson's Law," now applies to the US, which spent $1.1 trillion on interest payments on the national debt over the 2024 fiscal year, according to the Treasury Department. It was more than the $883.7 billion approved that year for total defense spending. Nearly every nation that has violated Ferguson's Law has lost its status as " great power" in financial markets, he said. "Any great power that pursues a reckless fiscal policy by allowing the cost of its debt to exceed the cost of its armed services is opening itself up to challenge," Ferguson said. "The US is just the latest great power to find itself in this fiscal jam." The US has been able to borrow as much as it has through now with no issues, in part because the US dollar remains the world's reserve currency and investors still see Treasurys as "risk-free," Ferguson said, meaning they have faith in the US's ability to make good on its interest payments. But that already appears to be shifting, he said, pointing to investors around the world shedding their exposure to US Treasurys and moving away from dollar assets. "I've warned the US is on an unsustainable fiscal path for 20 years now, and so at times have felt like the boy who cried 'wolf,'" Ferguson added.
