GEO Group Inc's stock rose by 5.01% after crossing above the 5-day SMA, reflecting positive market conditions with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.35% and S&P 500 up 0.62%.
The increase in stock price is attributed to the GEO Group's subsidiary, BI Incorporated, securing a two-year contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for skip tracing services, valued at approximately $121 million. This contract is expected to significantly enhance GEO's revenue stream, contributing to investor confidence and stock performance.
This contract win not only strengthens GEO's position in the market but also highlights the company's ability to secure substantial government contracts, which could lead to further growth opportunities in the future.
