Canaccord analyst Ryan Meliker lowered his price targets on both Correction Corp. of America (CXW) and the GEO Group (GEO) following the announcement of federal prison contracts. Meliker said both companies are currently selling at all-time high free cash flow yields, which implies they are either extremely cheap or there is substantial risk to more contract cancellations. The analyst believes most of those concerns are already priced in, but the risk of dividend cuts, covenant breaches and contract losses will weigh on the stocks. Meliker said Correction Corp. could cut its dividend by 35% and are at risk of breaching covenants but that GEO Group's dividend and covenants are safe. Meliker maintained his Buy rating but lowered his price target to $28 from $38 on the GEO Group and maintained his Hold rating and lowered his price target to $21 from $30 on Correction Corp. shares.
