CoreCivic

CoreCivic Inc is an owner and operator of private prisons and detention centers in the United States. It operates in three segments: Safety, Community, and Properties. The Community segment owns and operates residential reentry centers. The Properties segment owns properties for lease to third parties and government agencies. The vast majority of the company's revenue comes from the CoreCivic Safety segment which consists of correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by the company, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s second term could provide for-profit prisons an economic and regulatory boon amid Trump&#8217;s plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40744471/trumps-plan-to-ban-mortgages-for-undocumented-immigrants-sparks-debate-what-do-the-numbers-say">deport people living in the country illegally</a>.
Private Prisons: Corecivic Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and Geo Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) are the two largest private prison operators in the United States.
Geo Group owns 50 facilities and 64,502 beds across the U.S. concentrated in the South and Southwest. In 2023, CoreCivic operated 43 facilities with approximately 65,000 beds, according to company filings. The facilities include migrant detention centers and minimum-to-medium security prisons.
Private prisons are a topic of debate given their for-profit nature and alleged human rights abuses. <a href="https://news.uchicago.edu/story/us-prison-labor-programs-violate-fundamental-human-rights-new-report-finds">According</a> to the University of Chicago Law School, labor conditions in private prisons are poor. The majority of prisoners are forced to work, often for wages under a dollar per hour, or face solitary confinement or loss of visitation rights. The report found that prisoners produce at least $2 billion annually in goods and over $9 billion in maintenance services.
In August 2016, then-President Barack Obama announced a plan to reduce and eliminate the use of private prisons in the U.S. Following Trump&#8217;s inauguration for his first term in 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded Obama&#8217;s memorandum, <a href="https://www.bop.gov/resources/news/pdfs/20170224_doj_memo.pdf">saying</a> the decision &#8220;impaired the Bureau&#8217;s ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.&#8221; The stock prices of Geo and CoreCivic subsequently rallied over 30%.
As of July 2024, there <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf">were</a> 662,566 &#8220;noncitizens&#8221; with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals and 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
Trump&#8217;s Immigration Plan: Future immigration enforcement, an issue Trump made central to his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns, would require detention centers, perhaps operated by Geo and CoreCivic.
The ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration">found</a> in 2023 that over 90% of migrants detained by ICE were held in privately owned facilities.
In a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/politics/border-czar-homan-trump-deportation-plans/index.html">interview</a>, Tom Homan, Trump&#8217;s incoming border czar, said the government needs a minimum of 100,000 beds to carry out Trump&#8217;s immigration plan. This represents a more than 100% increase over current capacity. He also elaborated on the extent to which Trump will carry out deportation.
"I don't have a number. We want to arrest as many people as we can that are in the country illegally," Homan said. "If you're here illegally, you're not off the table. It's a violation of the law; it's a crime to enter this country illegally."
The American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration advocacy group, <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/mass-deportation">says</a> there were around 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally in 2022, roughly 3% of the country&#8217;s population. The council estimates that a deportation plan would cost at least $315 billion.
Why it Matters: Geo Group and CoreCivic also appear to be preparing for the future demand for detention centers. On Dec. 16, Geo Group announced a $70 million capital expenditure plan to expand ICE service capabilities.
In September, short-seller Andrew Left <a href="https://citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Geo-Group-093024.pdf">called</a> Geo Group the &#8220;default play&#8221; for a Trump presidency given his positions on immigration enforcement.
The market at large also seems convinced. Geo Group&#8217;s stock has risen over 86% since election day, while CoreCivic&#8217;s stock has risen over 58%.

<h3>CoreCivic's Economic Impact: An Analysis</h3>
Revenue Growth: CoreCivic's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 30 September, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 1.62%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings.

Analyzing Profitability Metrics:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company issues a cost efficiency warning with a low gross margin of 24.56%, indicating potential difficulties in maintaining profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): CoreCivic's EPS is below the industry average. The company faced challenges with a current EPS of 0.19. This suggests a potential decline in earnings.

<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 10.97, CoreCivic presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

EVP Of CoreCivic Makes $576K Sale

President-elect Donald Trump seemingly agreed that military resources will be used to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/immigration">deport undocumented immigrants</a>.
What Happened: Trump's confirmation came via a repost on social media. Conservative activist Tom Fitton claimed the incoming administration will deploy military assets for a mass deportation program.
Trump's responded with the caption: "TRUE!!!" 
The statement aligns with earlier plans sketched out by Trump&#8217;s nativist advisors, including Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.
Miller and Homan, Trump&#8217;s border czar and former acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, devised the deterrence program to separate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32387527/nikki-haley-rejects-trumps-migrant-policy-to-separate-children-from-parents-should-never-get-to-that">thousands of immigrant families</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">HUGE: President <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RealDonaldTrump</a> confirms he is prepared to declare a national emergency and use the military assets to reverse the Biden invasion. <a href="https://t.co/XnqW121GnQ">pic.twitter.com/XnqW121GnQ</a>

Why It Matters: Miller, Trump&#8217;s deputy chief of staff, previously proposed using military funds to construct large-scale holding facilities for immigrants.
On Nov. 7, the day Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> re-election was confirmed</a>, stock opportunists pounced. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41779902/prison-stocks-geo-group-corecivic-rally-on-trump-2024-election-win-history-shows-the-gains-may-n">share prices of major prison stocks</a> — Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) — spiked. 
Geo and CoreCivic both closed in the red Monday, down 0.83% and 1.03%, respectively.
Trump&#8217;s critics warn his deportation plans will likely lead to families being broken up and force taxpayers to shoulder the billions it will cost to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41722059/trumps-deportation-plan-faces-criticism-as-taxpayers-shoulder-the-billions-while-big-business-stands">fund such an initiative</a>.
The use of military resources in immigration enforcement is not without precedent internationally. Several countries have turned to their armed forces to manage immigration challenges, often citing national security concerns:
<ul>
<li>The Australian government <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-64898507">employed</a> its military under the direction of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott&#8217;s 2013 "Operation Sovereign Borders&#8221; campaign. The military's role included detaining migrants in offshore facilities — a practice widely criticized by human rights organizations for alleged abuses and inhumane conditions.</li>
<li>Italy&#8217;s navy continues to intercept migrant ships. Last week, it <a href="https://apnews.com/article/italy-albania-migrants-asylum-processing-centers-9a1a0037a4fe87bf7e4f33b02d01c382">opened</a> detention centers in Albania to process thousands of asylum-seekers outside its borders. The plan does not call for families to be separated, according to the Associated Press.</li>
<li>India has stationed military units along its borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, citing the need to curb illegal immigration. The military operations led to the controversial expulsion of Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar. This drew <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/10/myanmar-bangladesh-rohingya-community-facing-gravest-threats-since-2017/">condemnation</a> from international bodies such as the United Nations.</li>
<li>As a key entry point for migrants entering Europe, Greece has used its military to assist in patrolling borders and managing overcrowded refugee camps on islands like Lesbos. The military's involvement has been <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/03/17/greece-violence-against-asylum-seekers-border">criticized</a> for heavy-handed and harsh tactics.</li>
</ul>
What&#8217;s Next: Trump's rhetoric creates a precedent that raises questions about the balance between national security and civil liberties.
In the lead-up to Election Day, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19152983/donald-trump-is-the-first-us-president-to-be-impeached-twice">twice-impeached</a> former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41196721/trumps-dark-rhetoric-migrants-portrayed-as-criminals-amid-election-heat">often made graphic criticisms</a> of migrants. Many of his claims, linking them to crime and violence, were unsubstantiated.
A KFF <a href="https://www.kff.org/health-misinformation-and-trust/poll-finding/misinformation-about-immigrants-in-the-2024-presidential-election/">poll</a> showed 80% of Americans encountered false claims about migrants increasing crime, reflecting Trump&#8217;s fearmongering strategy.
The announcement comes as Trump continues to fill key cabinet positions, with some nominees facing scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42036132/trump-wants-matt-gaetz-confirmed-100-so-does-the-cannabis-industry">over qualifications and conduct</a>.

<h3>Get to Know CoreCivic Better</h3>
CoreCivic Inc is an owner and operator of private prisons and detention centers in the United States. It operates in three segments: Safety, Community, and Properties. The Community segment owns and operates residential reentry centers. The Properties segment owns properties for lease to third parties and government agencies. The vast majority of the company's revenue comes from the CoreCivic Safety segment which consists of correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by the company, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic.
<h3>Financial Insights: CoreCivic</h3>
Positive Revenue Trend: Examining CoreCivic's financials over 3 months reveals a positive narrative. The company achieved a noteworthy revenue growth rate of 1.62% as of 30 September, 2024, showcasing a substantial increase in top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Industrials sector.
Interpreting Earnings Metrics:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company shows a low gross margin of 24.56%, suggesting potential challenges in cost control and profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): With an EPS below industry norms, CoreCivic exhibits below-average bottom-line performance with a current EPS of 0.19.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: CoreCivic's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 0.67, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
Valuation Metrics: A Closer Look
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The Price to Earnings ratio of 32.54 is lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The Price to Sales ratio is 1.26, which is lower than the industry average. This suggests a possible undervaluation based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 11.04, CoreCivic presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Intraday Session

Among the biggest winners Wednesday morning are prison stocks Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), moving positively to the news that Donald Trump won the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
While prison stocks could benefit from Trump back in office and policies to expand private prison and immigration detention centers, past market history shows these stocks fell during Trump's previous four years in the White House.
What Happened: Investors could be feeling déjà vu with prison stocks moving higher after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election"> Trump's win Tuesday night.</a>
Geo Group shares opened higher by 19.4% after Trump's win in the 2016 election and CoreCivic shares opened higher by 36.8%
Fast forward to 2024 and Geo Group shares are up 35% on Wednesday and CoreCivic shares are up 28%.
As investors look for sectors and stocks that could benefit from a Trump presidency, the fact that Trump already served four years in the White House could provide historical results on what could happen going forward.
Geo Group shares traded at $16.27 on Election Day 2016. They soared to $26.81 by Trump's inauguration date of Jan. 20, 2017. After that, it was quite the fall for the stock. It went to $9.79 on the day of the 2020 election and $9.01 on the 2021 inauguration date of Jan. 20 for President Joe Biden.
This marked a 39.8% decline from the 2016 election day to the 2020 election day and a 66.4% decline from Trump's inauguration to Biden's inauguration.
CoreCivic shares had a similar fate. The stock traded at $14.33 on Election Day 2016 and soared to $28.32 by Trump's inauguration. After that, the stock fell to $7.64 on the day of the 2020 election and $7.26 on Biden's inauguration.
This marked a 46.7% decline from the 2016 election day to the 2020 election day and a 74.4% decline from Trump's inauguration to Biden's inauguration.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Geo Group and CoreCivic own and operate correctional, detention and residential reentry centers across the country.
The companies saw their stock rise after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/06/39554227/prison-stocks-gain-after-presidential-debate-winners-regardless-of-trump-or-biden-in-office">first presidential debate</a> between Trump and Biden earlier this year. Immigration remains an urgent topic among the candidates and the electorate nationwide.
Prison stocks have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/05/38882141/exclusive-andrew-left-shorted-gamestop-here-are-his-3-long-stock-ideas">attracted interest from </a>Citron Research's Andrew Left and "Big Short" investor Michael Burry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap/23/09/34451235/short-seller-titans-agree-michael-burry-citron-both-like-this-stock">in the past</a>. Investors who normally short stocks see value in the private prison sector and potentially a Trump win.
Based on the results above from Trump's past time in the White House, investors in GEO and CXW stock might want to consider taking profits now or selling around Trump's inauguration in January.
While the stocks could go up more during Trump's next four years in office, there is potential that the gains are already priced in or the same fate could happen from Trump's last time in the White House.
Investors could get an early look at what the company's see happening under a Trump presidency with CoreCivic reporting third-quarter financial results Wednesday after market close and Geo Group reporting Thursday before market open.
Analysts expect CoreCivic to report third-quarter revenue of $469.8 million, down from $483.7 million in last year's third quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent110624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro</a>. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters and six of the last eight quarters overall.
Analysts expect Geo Group to report third-quarter revenue of $613.3 million. That&#8217;s up from $602.8 million in last year's third quarter. The company missed second-quarter revenue estimates from analysts, but has beaten analyst estimates in eight of the last nine quarters.
Aramark (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARMK#NYSE">ARMK</a>) is another prison-related stock to watch during Trump's return to office. It&#8217;s a company that provides food, training and jobs to people in correctional facilities. 
Aramark stock did not fall as drastically during Trump's time in office. The stock currently trades higher than it did when Trump was in office.
