Analysis

The GEO Group (GEO) currently trades at $30.69, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $32.36, implying the stock looks roughly 5.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, The GEO Group generated revenue of $2.7B at a net margin of 10.0%. Revenue grew 16.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.3%. Net debt stands at $1.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $24.27 (bear case) to $40.45 (bull case); at $30.69, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 145% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 1% fair-value upside, at 5%, GEO screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
