The Geo Group, Inc. (GEO)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is a provider of government-outsourced services specializing in the management of correctional, detention and mental health and residential treatment facilities in the US, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Other major market opportunities will pull capital out, and attention away, from this relatively boring issue. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (GEO) SchulzNYM (50.30) Submitted: 6/30/08 6:33 PM : Start Price: $22.30 GEO Score: 17.10 Private prisons are the answer when state budgets are stretched (as they are now) and politicians have to say they're "tough on crime." The U.S. imprisons a huge percentage of its population, but hates voting to build new prisons, which cost a lot of money. Better to outsource to a company like the GEO group.

Balance sheet is just fair, with a high D/E. That debt is, however, well covered at present. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
