About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

3 Sports Betting Stocks That Don’t Feel Like a Gamble

By: MarketBeat

sports betting stocks

The legalization of sports betting is one of the leading economic stories in a post-pandemic world. But investing in sports betting stocks has been a cautionary tale for investors. The revenue that sports betting helps provide to state budgets ensures that it’s a sector that will continue to grow.  

According to Grand View Research, the global sports betting market totaled $83.65 billion in 2022. That number is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from now until 2030. 

But there are a lot of companies that are chasing that growth. That’s the problem that investors are facing. None of these companies appears to have a very wide moat. Another factor that should concern investors is that every company, for the most part, offers the same services. 

That means that investors need to go back to the fundamentals. As boring as fundamentals seem, it may be the best way to ensure you’re gambling on sports and not on the stocks you invest in. Here are three choices for you to consider. 

What Have You Done for Me Lately? 

The first of the three sports betting stocks to consider is MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM). The company combines the benefits of a sportsbook (BetMGM) with a portfolio of brick-and-mortar casino properties. The latter stands to benefit from the reopening of Macau casinos.  

The company’s earnings have taken a beating in the last three years. But in its last earnings report, MGM reported record revenue of $3.59 billion and an unexpected profit of 69 cents per share.  

That made it three out of four profitable quarters for MGM. And the company is guiding to earnings per share of 87 cents for 2023. That’s in-line with the mid-point of analysts’ estimates. In addition to that, MGM is expected to post average EPS growth of approximately 27% in the next five years with revenue averaging high single-digit growth in that same timeframe.  

 The company has a trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12.48 and a debt-to-income ratio of around 1.30%. MGM stock is up 8.3% in the last year. Analysts tracked by MarketBeat.com give MGM stock a price target of $51.61, a 22% gain from the current price.  

The King Continues to Go After the Throne 

DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG) stock is among the biggest winners in the last 12 months. DKNG stock is up 17.8% in the last 12 months. And the stock is up over 80% from when it went public in 2019.  

Some investors will point out that the stock is down 76% from its peak in 2021. But DraftKings, perhaps unfairly, was caught up in the meme stock movement. That’s why I prefer to look at the company’s growth longer. And what I see is revenue that is growing strongly on a year-over-year basis.  

The one question that investors will ask is when can they expect profit? Some analysts believe that could come as soon as the end of 2023. The consensus seems to be 2025. That may be enough to keep you on the sidelines. But here’s something to consider: revenue continues to grow even as the company's sales and marketing expenses go down. That means that customers are staying on the platform.  

The Best of the Bunch? 

Boyd Gaming Corp. (NYSE: BYD) is the only one of the three stocks on this list which has a negative share price in 2022. BYD stock is down about 4%. But looking at the big picture, the company has one of the strongest stories in the industry.  

Like MGM International, Boyd offers consumers access to on-site gambling at 28 gaming properties in 10 states. And it also offers mobile betting through its partnership with FanDuel.  

Currently, Boyd Gaming has a P/E ratio of just over 10x earnings. While earnings are “only” supposed to average high single-digit growth in the next five years, it’s worth noting that Boyd Gaming became strongly profitable in 2021 after not posting a profit (along with the rest of the industry) 2020.
