GEO , Long opportunity with potential for 100% + gain

709
GEO recently dropped around 25% , in my opinion mostly due to Biden statements about removing private prisons from government contracts during his term. I don't believe this will actually happen , especially taking into account the current divided government in the US (harder for Biden to pass bills).

What stands out to me with GEO is that it only recently underwent a pretty substantial news based drop and is trading at what I believe to be a discount (current P/E also less than share price). More importantly , after pretty much every election this stock rallies over 100% , I encourage you all to go back on trading view to see this for yourself . I believe we will see a similar 100% + rally with GEO in the next 4-6 months .

In addition to that , they also pay a 16% dividend and I like their revenue/income trends . They do have some slightly higher comparative debt/equity figures but due to the nature of their business model, they have the benefit of consistent income sources and will have no issues paying debt .

The one Analyst 12 month target available is $15 . I see greater upside, personally .

I have marked the chart with the prior 3 elections to demonstrate that GEO typically undergoes a rally post election.

Good luck ~
Trade closed: stop reached
Stopped out today . I am going to watch this one from the sidelines for now ... maybe if it drops to a new low and consolidates ill re-enter , but for now i'll play it safe . Lots of other opportunities .
Note
When this idea was published, I was hoping that democrats would not win majority of senate, but they did , Today Biden announced/(reminded us) they will not renew private prison contracts, now they have a little more power to see the bills through though . Although GEO has diversified fairly well, is not completely dependent on its prisons alone and has contracts that extend past even a two term Biden presidency.... I still would like to research who is better positioned for a loss of prison related income going forward. My initial research shows me that it seems to be CXW, which is a similar company and competition to GEO. If I find that CXW is better positioned for a loss of prison revenue and is indeed less dependent on these contracts than I may consider a hedge trade on the two CXW/GEO. I am going to research this more and provide an update later or perhaps a new idea if I decide to give the trade a shot .
