Why is Geo Group stock climbing today?

Geo Group Inc (GEO) stock rose 1.9% in pre-market trading after securing a 10-year federal contract for its Big Spring Complex, expected to generate $200M in annual revenue. The company is the largest private operator of ICE detention facilities. The contract comes ahead of GEO's Q3 2026 earnings release on November 5. U.S. midterm elections may add volatility, but immediate revenue impact is seen as limited. GEO's stock is above its 52-week low but below its high.
