Shares of private prison operator GEO Group Inc. (GEO) experienced a sharp 12.79% plunge on Tuesday, amidst concerns over potential policy shifts following the re-election of President Donald Trump.
During Trump's previous term, GEO Group benefited significantly from increased demand for detention facilities and stricter immigration enforcement policies. However, investors are now wary that the company's fortunes may reverse under the new administration.
Analysts suggest that Trump's campaign stance on immigration reform, including 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.
