Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch for EQX Stock
Higher gold prices are expected to have boosted EQX’s profitability and driven cash flow generation in the fourth quarter. Gold prices racked up strong gains in 2025 as worries over the global trade war boosted safe-haven demand. Prices hit new highs driven by a surge in safe-haven demand amid the intense trade tussle, geopolitical tensions, a weak dollar and increased purchases by central banks. Prices of the yellow metal closed nearly 13% higher in the fourth quarter and surged roughly 65% in 2025.
Strong gold production is also expected to have supported the company’s performance in the December quarter. EQX, last month, reported record production for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025. It delivered a record of gold production of 922,827 ounces for 2025, reflecting the strength of its expanded portfolio.
For the fourth quarter, gold production was a record 247,024 ounces. This includes 72,091 ounces from Greenstone and 23,207 ounces from Valentine. Operational improvements contributed to the strong production at Greenstone. EQX saw improved mining and milling rates at the mine in the December quarter. Also, commercial production at Valentine was ahead of schedule on Nov. 18, 2025, with ramp-up progressing well during the fourth quarter.
