CoreCivic's New Contracts On Focus, Analyst Sees Revenue Opportunities In 2026
JonesResearch analyst Jason Weaver reiterated the Buy rating and price forecast of $28 for CoreCivic, Inc. CXW following fourth-quarter results reported yesterday.
CoreCivic: The Picture Has Changed, But The Rating Hasn't
CoreCivic's stock surged 60.7% due to a favorable political climate, despite earlier setbacks from contract losses under the previous administration. The company's revenue and profitability have improved, driven by higher occupancy rates and lower variable expenses, making it near the low end of fair value. With significant contracts from ICE and USMS, CoreCivic stands to benefit from increased government investments in detention facilities under the current administration.
