For a variety $X$, a big $\mathbb{ Q}$-divisor $L$ and a closed connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{ Aut}(X, L)$ we define a $G$-invariant version of the $\delta$-threshold. We prove that for a Fano variety $(X, -K_X)$ and a connected subgroup $G \subset \mathrm{ Aut}(X)$ this invariant characterizes $G$-equivariant uniform $K$-stability. We also use this invariant to investigate $G$-equivariant $K$-stability of some Fano varieties with large groups of symmetries, including spherical Fano varieties. We also consider the case of $G$ being a finite group.
