Shares of private prison operator GEO Group Inc. (GEO) plunged over 5% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, as investors grew concerned about the potential impact of the re-elected Trump administration's policies on the company's business outlook.
During Trump's previous term, GEO Group benefited significantly from increased demand for detention facilities and stricter immigration enforcement policies. However, the company's fortunes may now face uncertainty as the new administration's stance on immigration reform remains unclear.
Analysts suggest that a potential shift towards less restrictive policies could negatively impact GEO Group's revenue streams. As a key provider of detention services for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the company's prospects are closely tied to federal policies surrounding immigration detention.
