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.

Johnson & Johnson is as Cheap as it’s Going to Get

By: MarketBeat

Shares of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) are as cheap as they will get. The stock is down in premarket trading following the Q1 release, but there is a bottom in play and reality to face. Trading near $145, JNJ stock is valued at less than 14X this year’s earnings guidance, which is a deep discount from historical norms. Add in the fact that the dividend yield is at the high end of the historical range, which was increased again, and the odds are high that this stock will rebound soon and resume its long-running uptrend. 

Johnson & Johnson’s Mixed Quarter Is Good News for Investors

Johnson & Johnson had a mixed quarter, but in a way that should leave the market in good shape. The company reported $21.4 billion in net revenue for a growth of 2.3% compared to last year. The growth was as expected, which is good news given the number of moving parts within the business, but the margin exceeded the consensus reported by Marketbeat.

Operationally, the ongoing business grew by 3.9% adjusted for the Kenvue (NYSE: KVUE) split and 7.7% adjusted for the impact of COVID-19; both are good numbers. Sales in the US offset sales abroad; the US is up 7.8%, while International sales declined modestly. Medtech led segmentally, good news for names like Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), with growth near 6.5% followed by a 2.5% gain in Innovative Medicines. 

The margin news is good. The company was able to widen the net margin and deliver solid GAAP and adjusted results. The GAAP earnings of $2.20 reverse losses posted in the previous year, while the adjusted $2.71 is up 12.4%. Adjusted earnings also outpaced the Marketbeat.com consensus estimate by $0.06 and played into the guidance. 

Johnson & Johnson raised its mid-point for revenue and earnings to put revenue in alignment with consensus and earnings above it. Because the company is gaining momentum now, guidance may be raised later this year. 

Johnson & Johnson Analysts Think This Stock is Undervalued

Johnson & Johnson analysts think this stock is undervalued because it is trading below the low end of their target range. The low end of the range is 10% above the current price action, and the consensus adds another 1000 basis points of upside. The trend in sentiment has the stock pegged at Hold, but the price target is rising compared to last year and last month and is unlikely to reverse now. Analysts may not catalyze a rally, but they support a floor in the market that is unlikely to be broken. The latest revision is from Cantor Fitzgerald, reiterating an Outperform rating and price target of $215, the highest on tracked by Marketbeat. 

Johnson & Johnson’s dividend is among the reasons analysts Hold this stock. The payment is running near 3.25%, with shares near long-term lows, and it increased this quarter. The Q1 report included a 4% increase in payouts, which extends JNJ's record to 62 consecutive annual increases. The payout ratio remains low at 45%, so annual increases should continue indefinitely. 

Oversold Johnson & Johnson Falls to Solid Support

The price action in JNJ stock fell in premarket action but already shows some signs of support. The market is at a critical level and likely to sustain support if it does not rebound. Assuming the market takes advantage of the opportunity, JNJ should begin to rebound soon. If not, the market could wallow at these levels until later in the year. However, there is always the risk the market will fall through critical support at the $145 level. In that scenario, JNJ stock could fall into the $120 to $135 range, but that is not expected.
