Equinox Gold (TSX:EQX) Valuation Check After Strong 1-Year Surge and Recent Pullback

The recent pullback, including a 6.2% seven day share price return decline, looks more like a breather after a powerful run. Year to date share price gains and a three year total shareholder return both point to strong, still building momentum around Equinox Gold’s growth story and improving risk perception.

If Equinox’s surge has you wondering what else might be gaining traction, now is a good time to scout fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential next wave candidates.

With shares still trading at a sizable discount to analyst targets and intrinsic value estimates despite rapid profit growth, investors now face a key question: is Equinox Gold still undervalued, or is the market already pricing in its next leg of expansion?
