Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The developer of immigration processing centres in the US and internationally recently reported a 63% increase in net income with a 15% increase in revenues.  Management feels confident to raise guidance on both for the balance of the year.  It trades at 19x earnings, 3x book and supports a ROE 19%.  Cash reserves are growing as debt is retired and shares bought back.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $26, looking to achieve $37 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $33.75)

DON'T BUY
It is a tough sector to be in. It is hard to make a business case for privately owned prisons. Earnings visibility is not there. The stock got into trouble with market perception. There is a lot of company risk. He would not want to make a bet on this company today. There are better plays out there.
DON'T BUY
They run prisons. He's not a fan of this space and wouldn't touch it.
