As of the October 20, 2026 close, CXW finished 8.85% above its 150-day moving average ($27.47) and 18.37% above its 200-day moving average ($25.26). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is CXW overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, CXW's RSI(14) was 36.5, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $108.9M in cash, though total debt stands at $1.37B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Annual free cash flow of $24.5M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at 8.8%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 4.8% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $1.85B to $2.21B.
The relatively low beta of 0.57 suggests CXW is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. CoreCivic, Inc. carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing CXW.
