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.

Three Reasons to Avoid SMR and One Stock to Buy Instead

SMR Cover Image

What a fantastic six months it’s been for NuScale. Shares of the company have skyrocketed 91.2%, hitting $18.18. This performance may have investors wondering how to approach the situation.

Is now the time to buy NuScale, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? Check out our in-depth research report to see what our analysts have to say, it’s free.

We’re glad investors have benefited from the price increase, but we're cautious about NuScale. Here are three reasons why there are better opportunities than SMR and a stock we'd rather own.

Why Is NuScale Not Exciting?

Founded by a team of nuclear scientists, NuScale (NYSE: SMR) specializes in small modular reactor technology, providing scalable nuclear power solutions.

1. Revenue Tumbling Downwards

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a stretched historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. NuScale’s recent history marks a sharp pivot from its three-year trend as its revenue has shown annualized declines of 13.6% over the last two years. NuScale Year-On-Year Revenue Growth

2. EPS Trending Down

We track the change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

NuScale’s earnings losses deepened over the last two years as its EPS dropped 29.4% annually. We tend to steer our readers away from companies with falling EPS, where diminishing earnings could imply changing secular trends and preferences. If the tide turns unexpectedly, NuScale’s low margin of safety could leave its stock price susceptible to large downswings.

3. Cash Burn Ignites Concerns

If you’ve followed StockStory for a while, you know we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can’t use accounting profits to pay the bills.

NuScale’s demanding reinvestments have drained its resources over the last four years, putting it in a pinch and limiting its ability to return capital to investors. Its free cash flow margin averaged negative 1,322%, meaning it lit $1,322 of cash on fire for every $100 in revenue.

Final Judgment

NuScale isn’t a terrible business, but it doesn’t pass our quality test. After the recent rally, the stock trades at $18.18 per share (or 84.8× forward price-to-sales). The market typically values companies like NuScale based on their anticipated profits for the next 12 months, but it expects the business to lose money. We also think the upside isn’t great compared to the potential downside here - there are more exciting stocks to buy. Let us point you toward Cloudflare, one of our top software picks that could be a home run with edge computing.

Stocks We Would Buy Instead of NuScale

The Trump trade may have passed, but rates are still dropping and inflation is still cooling. Opportunities are ripe for those ready to act - and we’re here to help you pick them.
