Analysis

Weak and unloved

CoreCivic, Inc. is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment.

The price is fair. You pay 21.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
