CoreCivic Inc.
CoreCivic Inc. (CXW) is a US-based operator of correctional and detention facilities that derives most revenue from government contracts and per-diem payments. As a specialised REIT-like business, it offers predictable cash flow when facilities run at contractual occupancy, but is sensitive to policy decisions, inmate populations and litigation or regulatory developments. Investors should note its exposure to federal, state and local budgets, and wider public and political scrutiny related to private incarceration. CoreCivic's market capitalisation around $1.96bn reflects a mid‑cap profile with operational scale in several states. Key considerations include contract renewals, occupancy trends, cost control and potential reputational risk, all of which can affect earnings and distributions.
