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 Value Stocks with Open Questions

HZO Cover Image

Value investing has created more billionaires than any other strategy, like Warren Buffett, who built his fortune by purchasing wonderful businesses at reasonable prices. But these hidden gems are few and far between - many stocks that appear cheap often stay that way because they face structural issues.

Identifying genuine bargains from value traps is something many investors struggle with, which is why we started StockStory - to help you find the best companies. Keeping that in mind, here are three value stocks with little support and some other investments you should consider instead.

MarineMax (HZO)

Forward P/E Ratio: 15.8x

Appropriately headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, MarineMax (NYSE: HZO) sells boats, yachts, and other marine products.

Why Does HZO Fall Short?

  1. Ongoing store closures and lackluster same-store sales indicate sluggish demand and a focus on consolidation
  2. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and store experience
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

MarineMax’s stock price of $25.04 implies a valuation ratio of 15.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering HZO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Enact Holdings (ACT)

Forward P/B Ratio: 1x

Playing a critical role in helping first-time homebuyers access the housing market, Enact Holdings (NASDAQ: ACT) provides private mortgage insurance that enables lenders to offer home loans with lower down payments while protecting against borrower defaults.

Why Do We Think Twice About ACT?

  1. Net premiums earned expanded by 1.3% annually over the last five years, falling below our expectations for the insurance sector
  2. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last two years as its combined ratio increased by 15 percentage points
  3. Annual earnings per share growth of 2.9% underperformed its revenue over the last two years, showing its incremental sales were less profitable

At $35.57 per share, Enact Holdings trades at 1x forward P/B. To fully understand why you should be careful with ACT, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

Hercules Capital (HTGC)

Forward P/E Ratio: 8.7x

Named after the mythological hero known for his strength, Hercules Capital (NYSE: HTGC) is a business development company that provides debt financing to venture capital-backed and growth-stage technology and life sciences companies.

Why Is HTGC Not Exciting?

  1. Incremental sales over the last two years were less profitable as its 2.1% annual earnings per share growth lagged its revenue gains

Hercules Capital is trading at $17.20 per share, or 8.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including HTGC in your portfolio.
