Disoccupazione - Crimine - Sicurezza

[Birdie Flu]

Apro un nuovo thread partendo da una semplice idea:

una delle conseguenze più chiare della crisi economica è l'incremento considerevole della disoccupazione che a mio avviso porterà ad un altrettanto considerevole aumento della criminalità.

Quindi sono interessato a raccogliere informazioni su titoli che si occupano del settore: servizi di polizia privata, impianti di allarme, trasporti blindati, controllo biometrico ecc.

Attualmente sto monitorando UIS, BCO, KTOS e ASEI.

Qualsiasi tipo di apporto, fondamentale o tecnico è ben accetto!

 

[Birdie Flu]

Vedo che non mi segue nessuno

allora continuo da solo.

Intanto segnalo questo sito in cui si trovano parecchie informazioni riguardo a titoli del settore: http://www.securitystockwatch.com/

Proprio su questo sito ho trovato un'azienda che si occupa tra le altre cose di progettare e amministrare carceri: Geo Group Inc. (Nasdaq: GEO).

Nel frattempo sono entrato su Unisys (UIS) a 2,62.

Sto per entrare anche su GEO.

 

[Birdie Flu]

Aggiorno questo thread-monologo tanto per autoconvincermi.

Continua senza tentennamenti l'impennata del settore.

Il Pictet security, fondo dedicato al tema sicurezza (informatica, fisica, ambientale) è a +30% dall'inizio dell'anno.

UIS quota in questo momento 2,95.

Nel frattempo sono entrato su GEO a 20,7.

Anche il governo italiano si sta occupando finalmente del problema carceri e si parla di un ampliamento di circa 20mila posti della capacità attuale.

Arresting Developments
By KOPIN TAN
For-profit prison operators are gaining as demand for cells outstrips supply.

AMERICA HAS 5% OF THE PLANET'S POPULATION, but 25% of its prisoners. This should be good news for the private prisons that absorb the spillover from our congested federal and state penitentiaries, but, alas, the recession has ruffled the economics even of law and order. Cash-strapped states seeking to cut the cost of housing inmates are mulling drastic measures, ranging from quicker paroles to earlier releases. Not only have the headlines alarmed some citizens, they have frightened investors as well.

As a result, private-prison stocks are selling at unusual -- and untenable -- discounts. The three biggest companies are Corrections Corp. of America (ticker: CXW), which controls 39% of private-prison beds, Geo Group (GEO), which runs 25%, and Cornell (CRN), with 10%. While their stocks have rebounded this year, they still trade at 12 to 18 times what each is expected to earn in 2010 -- compared with multiples pushing 30 before the budget crisis.

THE GRIM SHARE PRICES DWELL TOO much on states' stop-gap attempts to curb incarceration costs, and overlook private prisons' steady profitability, their stranglehold on a tough-to-penetrate industry and the widening chasm between supply and demand. In an extensive recent report, Barclays analyst Manav Patnaik pegs the annual demand for new prison beds at 35,000. That's being met by a supply of just 20,000 from both the public and private sectors. Patnaik's conclusion: "It's an imbalance that works in favor of private-prison operators."

Today, budget-constrained states can ill afford the time or capital to build new facilities, and many find it cheaper to outsource part of their incarceration system. That explains why half the new inmates during the past year were sent to private prisons, even though less than 9% of U.S. prison beds are privatized. Regions whose public employees are heavily unionized have tended to resist the shift, but reality and overcrowding usually force a compromise.

Even California, which runs the largest U.S. prison system and has no shortage of convicts or unions, has succumbed, tapping Corrections Corp. of America to handle its flood of felons. And this year, for the first time in recent memory, Florida earmarked no funds to build new prisons. It also passed laws allowing inmates to be transferred outside its borders. Some may go to private facilities in other jurisdictions.

Investors in the triad of Corrections Corp. of America (or CCA), Geo Group and Cornell have other perks: Private prisons earn recurring revenue, impervious to seasons or business cycles. They build decades-long ties with a fairly reliable customer -- the government, be it state or federal. And if the customer is the feds, the companies are selling to a client that doesn't even have to balance the budget, and can print money at will.

Barriers to entry into the business are forbidding, and customers don't defect easily to newer rivals. What public official would want to say, after a prison break, that he had picked an unproven company to run the facility, instead of one of the more experienced outfits?
[chart]

On top of that, prison facilities, replete with concrete and steel, tend to be durable, low-maintenance and immune to changing architectural whims.

A LONG STAY IN PRISON, according to an industry joke, cures very little except heterosexuality. Yet our prison population has more than tripled over the past quarter-century, jumping from roughly 700,000 in 1984 to 2.38 million this year, the fastest pace of any country on earth.

Proponents say that incarceration protects society from dangerous offenders, acts as a deterrent and allows re-education, thus fulfilling the criminal justice system's three main goals of prevention, punishment and rehabilitation. As a result, our federal prisons are at 137% of capacity, and state jails have shot past 110%. (It should be noted that prison populations of some nations, such as China, are held somewhat in check by the government's willingness to execute people for crimes that would rate only a prison term stateside.)

A study by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center points to an arresting development in the land of the free: For the first time, one in every 100 adults is behind bars, and state funds spent annually on corrections have swelled from $10.6 billion in 1987 to $44 billion. While the Department of Justice says violent crime has declined since 1993, drug arrests and reported crimes have increased.

This has galvanized proponents of sentencing reform, and change is on the way. States from Ohio to Oregon have enacted, or are considering, laws that would award sentence-shortening credits for prisoners who behave well or who participate in substance-abuse programs.

A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION of the U.S. incarceration rate, the highest in the world, would rattle private prisons. But bulls say this is unlikely and that the stocks already factor in much of the threat.

According to the Vera Institute of Justice, an independent policy center, at least 26 states have cut funding for corrections in fiscal 2010. Yet this hasn't thwarted the big private-prison operators, all three of which see profits growing next year. And investors may be underestimating the role that private outfits play in helping the prison system operate efficiently. Many changes -- some states now let prisoners serve their time in facilities in other states -- benefit private outfits. Their facilities span the country, and they can build wherever they see demand.

IRONICALLY, FREEING INMATES could create a larger need for prisons down the road. According to the Bureau of Justice, two of every three convicts released are rearrested within three years for a new crime.
[chart]

To be sure, pricing will be pinched in the months ahead, but not too severely. "Private prisons have built up a lot of ancillary services over the years that can now be cut if their per-diems are cut, without too much damage to their bottom line," says Eric Marshall, director of research at Dallas-based Hodges Capital Management. Besides, pricing will rise again as the budget crisis passes, and private prisons aren't without bargaining power. "There are only so many nonviolent criminals that can be let out, and it isn't like states can run out and quickly build another prison."

Case in point: Colorado wants to reduce its prison population by 26%, or 6,000 inmates, during the next two years. This could hurt Corrections Corp. of America, which runs three prisons, or nearly 4,700, beds there. But Signal Hill analyst T.C. Robillard doubts the state "can classify a quarter of its inmates as low-risk or near the end of their sentences." Even if that were possible, Barclays' Patnaik pegs the impact at just 1,000 beds, because releases will be offset by the arrival of new inmates. Also, the state probably will let CCA decide the most cost-effective way to release prisoners, so the company will retain considerable sway.

WHICH PRISON STOCK is the best bet?

Marshall finds all three worth considering but owns Geo, partly because the Boca Raton, Fla., outfit has the most international exposure. The privatization of prisons is in its infancy abroad -- penetration rates run from 17% in Australia to just 3% in South Africa -- and Geo earns 13% of its revenue overseas. Another 12% comes from its higher-margin criminal mental-health facilities.

Last month, Geo snagged a contract to run an 832-bed prison in Sydney, its fifth facility Down Under. A plan to raise $250 million -- by selling eight-year notes yielding roughly 8.25% -- also bespeaks ambitions to expand its balance sheet and give rival Corrections Corp. a run for its money.

CCA and Cornell have no overseas exposure, partly because U.S. demand has been strong. Corrections Corp. runs 64 prisons in 19 states and owns nearly two-thirds of them, a boon because owned prisons generate margins averaging 25%, compared with 15% for managed facilities. CCA's massive inventory makes it the go-to company for federal and state customers. One worry: Because it has so many beds, investors fret that a large number could go unused. Earlier this year, 11,000 were empty, but new government contracts had trimmed the total to 6,500 by summer.
The Bottom Line
Shares of Corrections Corp. of America, Geo Group and Cornell are selling at unrealistically low prices, considering the Big Three's solid prospects and steady profitability.

Corrections Corp. is the go-to stock for many investors as well. At 24, its shares trade at 17.9 times expected 2010 profits, compared with 13.5 times for Geo and 12.1 times for Cornell.

CORNELL DOESN'T GET THE SAME RESPECT, because 26% of its revenue comes from lower-margin juvenile-detention facilities. But it is also the most sensitive to economic swings -- it doesn't take much to move Cornell's needle -- and hence more suitable for traders with an appetite for risk.

Signal Hill's Robillard rates all three Buy, but he gives the short-term edge to Cornell over Geo, and to Geo over CCA over the next six to 12 months. CCA's recent run has already "priced in a lot of the growth re-acceleration," he says, "while Cornell and Geo can still catch up." In fact, analysts' conservative price targets put Cornell at 26, 10% above its recent quotes.

Over the long run, however, Robillard argues that CCA's bigger balance sheet gives it the most options. Crime increases in a recession, but as the economy revs up, so should spending on crime and punishment. Who said crime doesn't pay?

Questo un articolo uscito sul Corriere 2 giorni fa che parla del boom della privatizzazione del settore carcerario in USA.

LA SVOLTA
Usa, l'Arizona privatizza
anche il braccio della morte
Lo Stato affiderà a un'impresa la gestione dei condannati. Si prevede un risparmio di 100 milioni di dollari l'anno

WASHINGTON – L’Arizona sarà il primo stato americano a privatizzare completamente non solo le sue prigioni, ma anche il loro braccio della morte. In Arizona, i detenuti in attesa della esecuzione sono 127 su un totale di oltre 40 mila, tutti rinchiusi in un penitenziario di massima sicurezza. Lo Stato li affiderà a una delle imprese private che da tempo gestiscono varie carceri in America, dalla Alaska alle Hawai. Il motivo della decisione: l'Arizona, che ha un deficit di bilancio di 2 miliardi di dollari, pensa di risparmiare 100 milioni di dollari all'anno. Lo Stato ha già dato in appalto a privati quasi un terzo delle sue prigioni.

POLEMICA - Sulla imminente privatizzazione dei bracci della morte in Arizona è polemica. Todd Thomas, della Correction corp of America, una impresa privata che amministra una delle carceri dello stato, ha precisato che le esecuzioni verrebbero compiute sempre da funzionari statali. Ma ha ammesso che ditte come la sua non sono addestrate al controllo dei condannati a morte, i detenuti più difficili: «Sinora non abbiamo avuto a che fare con penitenziari di massima sicurezza». Un ex ricercatore del Ministero della giustizia, James Austin, che nel 2001 pubblicò un rapporto sulla privatizzazione delle carceri, ha ammonito che «se accadesse qualcosa nei bracci della morte in mano a privati, scoppierebbe uno scandalo». Il deputato repubblicano John Kavanagh, che ha promosso la riforma appena approvata dal Parlamento dell’Arizona, ha confutato i critici, sostenendo che «i risultati saranno buoni e comunque non esiste una alternativa più economica».

SOTTO ACCUSA - Ma in America le carceri private, nate negli Anni Ottanta, sono sotto accusa per i motivi più diversi, dal pessimo vitto e la mancanza di cure dei detenuti agli scoppi di violenza e la scarsa riduzione dei costi. Esse sono usate non solo dai singoli Stati, che vi detengono oltre 100 mila persone, ma anche dal governo federale, che ve ne detiene circa 35 mila. I "liberal" le vogliono abolire protestando che la giustizia è compito esclusivo dello Stato, non può essere privatizzata. Paradossalmente, in America la riduzione dei costi, non la questione morale, è una delle argomentazioni addotte contro la sentenza capitale: mantenere i condannati nei bracci della morte, oltre 3.500 in tutto, è costosissimo, a causa della sorveglianza, le rivolte e le malattie. Ma di recente lo stato dell’Ohio ne ha trovata un'altra: in due casi, i boia non sono riusciti a fare l’iniezione letale ai condannati, che sono stati perciò riportati nelle loro celle. L’Ohio ha sospeso l'esecuzione per accertare se una seconda non violerebbe il divieto costituzionale di «pena eccessiva e crudele».

Evviva! finalmente qualcuno che mi caga!

Al momento sono impegnato solo su UIS (sicurezza elettronica e gestionale ad ampio spettro ma anche outsourcing e altre cose che nemmeno capisco) e GEO (carceri, centri di smistamento immigrati e manicomi) ma mi piace molto anche BCO (trasporto valori e sicurezza armata).

Gli altri settori interessanti a mio avviso sono quelli del riconoscimento biometrico, vigilantes e sorveglianza elettronica (telecamere intelligenti).

Non sono esperto del settore, non conosco bene le aziende e la loro concorrenza, non capisco nulla di analisi tecnica. Qualsiasi feedback è quindi preziosissimo.
