Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Diversified Support Services is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.

View RiskCoreCivic's revenue growth must continue to justify its current price. The company recently beat earnings expectations with a 33% surprise and 25.8% year-over-year revenue growth. It trades at 20× P/E, below the peer median of 22×. This suggests the price reflects less growth than expected. A specific risk is the potential loss of banking partners, which could hurt financial flexibility. Peer multiples imply a price about 8% below where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-07-31. CXW is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
