<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

$100 Invested In GEO Group 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is calling out the Trump administration for what she described as a massive financial windfall for private prison companies running immigration detention centers, including the recently reopened Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Prison Profits and Political Connections&nbsp;</h2>
The progressive lawmaker took to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJfpuCXsK6p/">Instagram Live</a> on Sunday to highlight concerns over the facility's permits and the influence of political donations.

</ul>
&#8220;There is a dispute over, a lot of people don&#8217;t know, like the reason that this altercation even happened is because that facility, I don&#8217;t even believe has a certificate, has not even been given a certificate of occupancy by the city of Newark yet,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said. &#8220;And so there&#8217;s a dispute, I believe, over whether that facility even has the proper clearances to even open or operate.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez also called out the companies behind these facilities, including CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>), accusing them of prioritizing profits over humane conditions for detainees.&nbsp;
&#8220;These are private prison companies, for-profit corporations. And that is the reason why the conditions in a lot of these detention facilities are so horrible,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not because of some like, oh, you know, any sort of federal law. It&#8217;s the opposite. It&#8217;s because the Trump administration is funneling money to private prison companies.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Newark Mayor Arrested During Protest</h2>
The controversy over Delaney Hall escalated on Friday when Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who is running for governor, was arrested outside the facility. Federal prosecutors charged Baraka with trespassing after he reportedly ignored warnings from federal agents, Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, <a href="https://x.com/AlinaHabba/status/1920918181951971563">posted</a> on X.

The lawmakers said they were at the site to inspect conditions but were met with resistance from federal agents. &#8220;We were able to get in, speak to detainees, check out the facilities, and make sure everything was OK there,&#8221; McIver told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewg2we9qq-o">CNN</a>. &#8220;But ICE kept giving us the run-around,&#8221; added Watson Coleman.

DHS has maintained that the facility has the necessary permits and completed all required inspections, despite Baraka's claims to the contrary, according to the AP.

GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported first-quarter revenue of $604.6 million, which missed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45246791/the-geo-group-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $611.81 million</a>.
<ul>
<li>Adjusted EBITDA declined to&nbsp;$99.8 million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$117.6 million&nbsp;a year ago quarter.</li>
<li>Adjusted EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;14 cents came below&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;18 cents</a>.</li>
<li>The results reflect a general and administrative expense increase of around $5 million.</li>
<li>At the end of the first quarter, net debt totaled approximately $1.68 billion, with around $65 million in cash and cash equivalents.</li>
</ul>
George C. Zoley, Executive Chairman of GEO, said, &#8220;During the first quarter of 2025, we announced two important contract awards for the reactivation of two company-owned facilities totaling 2,800 beds and representing in excess of $130 million in annualized revenues.&#8221;
&#8221;We have taken several important steps to be prepared to meet that opportunity, including making a significant investment commitment of $70 million to strengthen our capabilities to deliver expanded detention capacity, secure transportation, and electronic monitoring services to ICE and the federal government. We also recently completed a reorganization of our senior management team to oversee the operational execution of this expected future growth activity.&#8221;
Outlook: Geo raised FY25 outlook for EPS to 77 cents to 89 cents from 74 cents to 88 cents (vs. the consensus estimate of $1.22) and revenue to around $2.53 billion from $2.50 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(vs. consensus of $2.66 billion)</a>.
For the second quarter, the company expects second quarter GAAP EPS of 15 cents to 17 cents vs. the street view of 24 cents and sales of $615 million—$625 million vs. the consensus of $635.62 million.
In 2025, the company expects to further reduce the total net debt by around&nbsp;$150 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$175 million, bringing the total net debt to about&nbsp;$1.54 billion.
For 2025, the company projects capital expenditures of $120 million-$135 million.
&#8220;The first half of the year is expected to be impacted by higher overhead and operating expenses as well as increased capital expenditures to position our company for future growth, which is expected to begin to layer in during the second half of 2025 and normalize in 2026.&#8221;, added Zoley.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Ballast Small/Mid Cap ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGMT#NYSE">MGMT</a>) and&nbsp;Innovator IBD Breakout Opportunities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOUT#NYSE">BOUT</a>).
