Watch for the next 13D amendment or a DEFA14A/DFAN14A filing — the rapid accumulation pattern suggests Equinox may soon formalize demands (board seats, strategic review, or capital return). The stock's recent trading range ($9-10.50) aligns with the activist's buy zone, providing a floor. Monitor for any issuer response or investor presentation.
