Shares of Geo Group Inc (GEO), one of the largest private prison operators in the U.S., skyrocketed by over 40% on November 6th as former President Donald Trump secured his return to the White House. Trump's victory has reinvigorated expectations that his administration will ramp up the detention of undocumented immigrants, boosting demand for privately-run detention centers.
The surge in Geo Group's stock price reflects investors' anticipation that a Trump presidency will lead to tougher immigration enforcement policies and increased reliance on private prisons to house detainees. During Trump's previous term from 2017 to 2021, private prison companies like Geo Group benefited significantly from his crackdown on illegal immigration.
Analysts note that Geo Group derives a substantial portion of its revenue from federal contracts with agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). With Trump's campaign promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, investors are betting that Geo Group will see a surge in demand for its detention facilities and services.
