10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

President-elect Donald Trump seemingly agreed that military resources will be used to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/immigration">deport undocumented immigrants</a>.
What Happened: Trump's confirmation came via a repost on social media. Conservative activist Tom Fitton claimed the incoming administration will deploy military assets for a mass deportation program.
Trump's responded with the caption: "TRUE!!!" 
The statement aligns with earlier plans sketched out by Trump&#8217;s nativist advisors, including Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.
Miller and Homan, Trump&#8217;s border czar and former acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, devised the deterrence program to separate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32387527/nikki-haley-rejects-trumps-migrant-policy-to-separate-children-from-parents-should-never-get-to-that">thousands of immigrant families</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">HUGE: President <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RealDonaldTrump</a> confirms he is prepared to declare a national emergency and use the military assets to reverse the Biden invasion. <a href="https://t.co/XnqW121GnQ">pic.twitter.com/XnqW121GnQ</a>

Why It Matters: Miller, Trump&#8217;s deputy chief of staff, previously proposed using military funds to construct large-scale holding facilities for immigrants.
On Nov. 7, the day Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> re-election was confirmed</a>, stock opportunists pounced. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41779902/prison-stocks-geo-group-corecivic-rally-on-trump-2024-election-win-history-shows-the-gains-may-n">share prices of major prison stocks</a> — Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) — spiked. 
Geo and CoreCivic both closed in the red Monday, down 0.83% and 1.03%, respectively.
Trump&#8217;s critics warn his deportation plans will likely lead to families being broken up and force taxpayers to shoulder the billions it will cost to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41722059/trumps-deportation-plan-faces-criticism-as-taxpayers-shoulder-the-billions-while-big-business-stands">fund such an initiative</a>.
The use of military resources in immigration enforcement is not without precedent internationally. Several countries have turned to their armed forces to manage immigration challenges, often citing national security concerns:
<ul>
<li>The Australian government <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-64898507">employed</a> its military under the direction of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott&#8217;s 2013 "Operation Sovereign Borders&#8221; campaign. The military's role included detaining migrants in offshore facilities — a practice widely criticized by human rights organizations for alleged abuses and inhumane conditions.</li>
<li>Italy&#8217;s navy continues to intercept migrant ships. Last week, it <a href="https://apnews.com/article/italy-albania-migrants-asylum-processing-centers-9a1a0037a4fe87bf7e4f33b02d01c382">opened</a> detention centers in Albania to process thousands of asylum-seekers outside its borders. The plan does not call for families to be separated, according to the Associated Press.</li>
<li>India has stationed military units along its borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, citing the need to curb illegal immigration. The military operations led to the controversial expulsion of Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar. This drew <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/10/myanmar-bangladesh-rohingya-community-facing-gravest-threats-since-2017/">condemnation</a> from international bodies such as the United Nations.</li>
<li>As a key entry point for migrants entering Europe, Greece has used its military to assist in patrolling borders and managing overcrowded refugee camps on islands like Lesbos. The military's involvement has been <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/03/17/greece-violence-against-asylum-seekers-border">criticized</a> for heavy-handed and harsh tactics.</li>
</ul>
What&#8217;s Next: Trump's rhetoric creates a precedent that raises questions about the balance between national security and civil liberties.
In the lead-up to Election Day, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19152983/donald-trump-is-the-first-us-president-to-be-impeached-twice">twice-impeached</a> former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41196721/trumps-dark-rhetoric-migrants-portrayed-as-criminals-amid-election-heat">often made graphic criticisms</a> of migrants. Many of his claims, linking them to crime and violence, were unsubstantiated.
A KFF <a href="https://www.kff.org/health-misinformation-and-trust/poll-finding/misinformation-about-immigrants-in-the-2024-presidential-election/">poll</a> showed 80% of Americans encountered false claims about migrants increasing crime, reflecting Trump&#8217;s fearmongering strategy.
The announcement comes as Trump continues to fill key cabinet positions, with some nominees facing scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42036132/trump-wants-matt-gaetz-confirmed-100-so-does-the-cannabis-industry">over qualifications and conduct</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h3>
Wellpath Holdings Inc., a major provider of healthcare services to jails across the U.S., is preparing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">to file for bankruptcy</a>. 
Owned by H.I.G. Capital, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company has struggled with debt and labor costs. Despite efforts, including a forbearance agreement with lenders, financial strains have persisted. 
This move comes as prison stocks Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) moved positively to the news that Donald Trump won <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41779902/prison-stocks-geo-group-corecivic-rally-on-trump-2024-election-win-history-shows-the-gains-may-n">the 2024 presidential election</a>.

According <a href="https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/q3-2024-tripadvisor-inc-earnings-133036809.html">to </a>CFO Mike Noonan, the company ended Q3 with $1.1 billion in cash. Should a firm make an offer, it would have to woo Liberty Media, which owns about 21% of Tripadvisor common stock — an approximate 57% voting interest.
KKR &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) wants to sell its stake in JB Chemicals &amp; Pharmaceuticals Ltd. via a block trade in the market, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-06/kkr-is-said-to-consider-selling-750-million-stake-in-jb-pharma">per</a> Bloomberg. The private equity firm is working with an investment bank as it considers selling about $750 million worth of stock in the Indian-listed company. The size of the deal could jump to $1 billion depending on demand.

Cramer predicts a more lenient approach to M&amp;A approvals compared to the previous administration, which was known for its stringent antitrust scrutiny. The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host also highlighted that the regional banking sector could significantly benefit from increased M&amp;A activity, allowing banks to grow by acquiring smaller entities or merging to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41805370/jim-cramer-hopes-m-a-to-come-back-bigly-under-trump-administration">form larger "super regionals.&#8221;</a>

The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) shares are trading higher after the company reported&nbsp;third-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$603.1&nbsp;million, missing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41800436/the-geo-group-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the&nbsp;consensus of&nbsp;$613.26 million</a>.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to&nbsp;$118.6&nbsp;million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$118.7&nbsp;million&nbsp;a year ago quarter. Adjusted EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;21 cents came below <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;24 cents</a>.
Third-quarter results show lower-than-expected revenue in the Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services segment due to a decline in participant counts under the federal Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP).
Notably, Average ISAP participant counts were around 177,000 in the quarter, down from 184,000 in the second quarter of 2024.
George C. Zoley, Executive Chairman of GEO, said, &#8220;We have 18,000 available beds across contracted and idle secure services facilities, which if fully activated, would provide significant potential upside to our financial performance. We also believe we have the necessary resources to materially scale up the service levels in our ISAP and air and ground transportation contracts.&#8221;
The company&#8217;s total net debt was approximately&nbsp;$1.69 billion&nbsp;at the end of the&nbsp;third quarter.
Outlook: Geo revised its FY24 outlook, now expecting adjusted EPS of $0.80 &#8211; $0.84 (vs. the consensus estimate of $0.92), down from the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> prior range of $0.82 &#8211; $0.93</a>.
The company also projects FY24 revenues of $2.42 billion, compared to the previous forecast of $2.44 billion and the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40219871" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $2.445 billion</a>.
Geo now forecasts fourth quarter EPS of $0.19 &#8211; $0.22 (vs. $0.22&nbsp;–&nbsp;$0.29&nbsp;prior view), compared to the $0.27 estimate, and expects revenues of $600 million &#8211; $610 million (below&nbsp;$611 million &#8211; $621 million guidance earlier), vs. street view of $618.58 million.
Last month, the company disclosed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) exercised the first five-year extension on the 15-year contract for the 1,940-bed Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California, extending the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41181139/the-geo-group-announces-exercise-of-five-year-option-period-for-adelanto-ice-processing-center-con" rel="noreferrer noopener">contract through December 19, 2029</a>.
