It’s been a while since my last real purchase in main portfolio but today there was three. Hopefully this wasn’t motivated by the negative news from Nordea Bank and Sampo. Both of which are slashing next dividend. First purchase was additional 15 shares of EPR properties bought for 79,46 USD per share. Nothing special here. Decent valuation and acceptable company profile given the interest rate environment and phase of the cycle. GEO Group and CoreCivic are much more interesting. Both are in the much hated for profit prison business which has taken a real beating as the US presidential election approaches. Personally I consider it extremely unlikely that a) US would elect really left leaning president such as Elizabeth Warren and b) would really move away from private prisons any time soon. Having said that, you never know what the general public does and therefore these come with high risk which is at least partly priced in. Very high yield above 10% is also reflecting it as a result. Therefore I bought 80 shares of CoreCivic for 16,17 USD per share and 80 shares of GEO Group for 16,09 USD per share.
