GEO is a leveraged play on Trump-era ICE expansion — revenue inflecting, EPS up 7x, and 6,646 idle beds offering $240M of latent upside.

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~128% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

GEO's FY2025 results mark a clear inflection. Revenue grew 8.6% to $2.63B after three years of stagnation around $2.4B, and net income jumped to $254M from $32M as the company lapped one-time charges and benefited from the policy reset. The MD&A frames this as 'an unprecedented opportunity' tied to the Trump Administration's Executive Order reversing the prior DOJ directive against private criminal detention contracts, alongside expanded ICE enforcement priorities. Average occupancy rose to 89.2% from 87.2%, and the company is investing aggressively — capex tripled to $198M — to expand detention capacity, secure transportation, and electronic monitoring for the federal government.
