And there it is. CoreCivic sold four private jails to ICE this summer, booked a $1.8B gain, and is now spending $500M on a stock buyback for its investors. That’s when a company cancels its own shares to hand value to shareholders. Same profits, split fewer ways, so each share is worth more.
Screenshot of a CoreCivic press release dated August 10, 2026, headlined "CoreCivic Announces $500 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement." The text states the company entered an agreement with a financial institution to repurchase $500 million of its common stock, drawing on a $755.8 million program approved by its board on August 4, 2026, and that about $255.8 million in repurchase authorization will remain afterward. The company expects an initial delivery of roughly 12.4 million shares, with final settlement before the end of the second quarter of 2027. A table compares updated full-year 2026 guidance against guidance issued five days earlier. Net income falls from a range of $1.497 to $1.516 billion down to $1.492 to $1.511 billion. Adjusted net income falls from $161.5 to $169.5 million down to $157.0 to $165.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA falls from $440.5 to $445.5 million down to $434.5 to $439.5 million. Diluted earnings per share rises from $15.00 to $15.20 up to $15.62 to $15.82. Text below the table attributes the changes to the share delivery and to reduced interest income from deploying $500 million of cash on hand.Screenshot of the second page of CoreCivic's August 10, 2026 press release, consisting of forward-looking statements and the start of a supplemental financial table. The risk disclosures reference changes in how the federal government, including ICE, elects to use the company's detention capacity, and separately reference the company's ability to complete sales of additional company-owned assets, including the potential sale of additional facilities to ICE. A parenthetical states that the company does not, under longstanding policy, lobby for or against legislation determining the basis or duration of an individual's incarceration or detention. Below is a table titled "Guidance, Calculation of Adjusted Net Income, Funds From Operations, Normalized Funds From Operations, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA," in thousands of dollars, for the year ending December 31, 2026. It begins with net income of $1,492,035 at the low end and $1,511,273 at the high end, subtracts a gain on sale of real estate assets of $1,785,000 to $1,800,000, adds income tax expense for special items of $446,841 to $450,553, and arrives at adjusted net income of $157,000 to $165,000. A second block performs a similar calculation to reach normalized funds from operations of $256,000 to $265,000, and lists diluted earnings per share of $15.62 to $15.82 alongside adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.64 to $1.73.Screenshot of the final page of CoreCivic's August 10, 2026 press release. The top of the page completes a financial reconciliation showing EBITDA of $2,216,352 to $2,236,352 thousand, from which a gain on sale of real estate assets of $1,785,000 to $1,800,000 thousand is subtracted, arriving at adjusted EBITDA of $434,476 to $439,526 thousand. The remainder of the page is an explanatory note stating that adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, funds from operations, and normalized funds from operations are non-GAAP measures, describing how the company calculates them and cautioning that other companies may calculate them differently. The page ends with contact information for the company's investor relations and communications representatives.

cwa and cwa canada have filed unfair labor practice charges against microsoft following last week's layoffs. but this is far from the first time they've done so, and the regulatory situation around these things in the US right now is... not great!
This is not CWA’s first time taking legal action against Microsoft and its subsidiaries. In 2025, CWA publicly announced that it had filed an unfair labor practice charge against Activision for allegedly disciplining a Raven Software employee for communicating about bargaining. It appears to have been withdrawn by the NLRB a couple months later. The NLRB’s database also includes a few other open cases filed by CWA against Activision—one from 2025 and two from 2026. Additionally, there are five open cases against Zenimax (not including today's), three from CWA. Also in 2025, CWA Canada filed an unfair labor practice complaint against Bethesda Game Studios for what it deemed unfair bargaining with Canadian employees and “choosing to treat Canada-based employees like second-class citizens.” It is unclear whether or not the case has been resolved. 

Currently, the US’ National Labor Relations Board is dealing with a “historic” backlog of cases after 2025 saw Donald Trump take the then-unprecedented step of firing Democratic member Gwynne Wilcox, costing the five-member board its quorum of at least three members and preventing it from deciding cases for nearly a year. The board has traditionally been overseen by two Democrats, two Republicans, and a chair from the president’s party, and with Trump’s nominee recently getting cleared by a Senate panel, it’s looking like Republicans will soon have a 3-1 NLRB advantage. This does not bode well for Biden-era NLRB decisions that encouraged union organizing—nor for unions in general.
