Fun facts about CoreCivic, Inc.

Quirks, history, and lore behind CXW — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

1
The Basics
U.S. Real Estate company · structured as a REIT · listed on the NYSE · headquartered in Tennessee.
2
The Numbers
Operates roughly 50,000+ beds across dozens of facilities, generating annual revenue in the range of $1.9 billion — not bad for a landlord whose tenants can't exactly leave.
3
The History
Founded in the 1980s, it pioneered the idea of running government detention facilities as a private, for-profit business — a concept that was as controversial then as it is now.
4
The Secret
Its primary customers are government agencies — including federal ones — meaning taxpayers foot the bill and contract renewals are basically the whole investment thesis.
5
The Lore
The company rebranded in 2016, ditching its old name in a clear attempt to distance itself from its image — but its business of privately managed prisons and detention centers didn't change one bit.
6
The Giveaway
America's largest private prison operator, formerly known as Corrections Corporation of America — same walls, new nameplate.

AI Insight: CXW Financial Trends

Revenue surged 26% from Q2 2024 to Q1 2026, but debt jumped $373M in two quarters while operating cash flow collapsed to near zero.

• Revenue grew steadily from $490M in Q2 2024 to $615M in Q1 2026, a 26% increase over six quarters.

• Total debt spiked from $994M in Q1 2025 to $1,406M in Q1 2026, a $412M increase in four quarters.

• Operating cash flow deteriorated sharply, falling from $97M in Q2 2025 to effectively $0M in Q4 2025 and $14M in Q1 2026.

• Equity eroded from a peak of $1,493M in Q4 2024 to $1,396M in Q1 2026, a $97M decline.

⚠ Debt-to-equity ratio worsened to ~1.01x in Q1 2026 from 0.67x in Q1 2025 — monitor if leverage continues expanding.

⚠ Operating cash flow near zero in Q4 2025 despite record revenue; cash conversion quality requires scrutiny.

⚠ Revenue acceleration into Q1 2026 could improve cash flow if debt-funded capacity investments begin generating returns.

AI Insight: CXW Ratio Trends

CoreCivic's Q1 2026 operating margin hit 8.5% and ROIC reached 7.5%, the strongest single-quarter readings in the dataset, but D/E has climbed to 1.01 from a low of 0.67.

• Operating margin expanded from 5.2% in Q4 2024 to 8.5% in Q1 2026, a 330bp improvement over five quarters.

• ROIC rose from a trough of 4.0% in Q4 2024 to 7.5% in Q1 2026, signaling improving capital efficiency.

• D/E ratio has climbed steadily from 0.67 in Q1 2025 to 1.01 in Q1 2026, the highest level in the dataset.

⚠ D/E at 1.01 represents a 51% increase from the Q4 2024 low of 0.67 — rising leverage warrants close monitoring.

⚠ Q2 2025 margin spike to 9.7% appears to be an outlier; sustainability of the Q1 2026 8.5% level remains unproven.
