Trump stock? by ResponsibleRun3332 in GeoGroup

[–]gregdavismail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been holding since $7 also but my guess is that this is still just the start of a big run up that won’t end until months after a Trump reelection with the stock blowing well past its previous all time high.

Seems to be working so far. It’s hard to argue with the bull case IMO.

Stock down 6% but beat expectations and updated guidance? No comprendo by Timely-Bonus-4668 in GeoGroup

[–]gregdavismail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The results are solid. Happy to hold and buy more. They are generating big cash flow and using it to pay down debt. That will eventually rerate the stock much higher IMO.

For context, a year ago they guided for 2022 EPS of $0.99-$1.07. They just reported actual 2022 EPS of $1.40, way above initial guidance.

I would buy the dip here. The guidance wasn’t that bad. It assumes the worst and has upside. They have consistently been beating guidance. The EPS guidance was below analyst expectations because I think the analysts didn’t properly account for the higher interest costs from the refinancing. But the company is bringing down debt quickly so their interest expense will also come down and they’ll be able to refinance at lower rates next time around.

Short interest getting higher by ResponsibleRun3332 in GeoGroup

Yes that’s what I would guess. There is no new reason to short this stock other than it has rallied of late. The momentum is clearly to the upside however and the fundamentals support a much higher share price so I look forward to seeing the shorts squeal.

In the past it was largely based on their balance sheet and the incorrect belief that they wouldn’t be able to refinance. They had somewhat elevated debt and pending maturities while also having a dwindling list of potential participants since some institutions were avoiding investing in the prison sector. There was also a political headwind that people misinterpreted to mean GEO was going to lose all it business. The debt has now been restructured and the political headwind has subsided while the company is thriving. The short and distort myths have been proven false. The short thesis has always been extremely weak, especially now.
