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.

1 Growth Stock to Stash and 2 Facing Headwinds

ORN Cover Image

Growth boosts valuation multiples, but it doesn’t always last forever. Companies that cannot maintain it are often penalized with large declines in market value, a lesson ingrained in investors who lost money in tech stocks during 2022.

Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here is one growth stock where the best is yet to come and two whose momentum may slow.

Two Growth Stocks to Sell:

Orion (ORN)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.9%

Established in 1994, Orion (NYSE: ORN) provides construction services for marine infrastructure and industrial projects.

Why Do We Pass on ORN?

  1. Backlog has dropped by 1.7% on average over the past two years, suggesting it’s losing orders as competition picks up
  2. Gross margin of 9.3% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D
  3. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value

Orion’s stock price of $7.51 implies a valuation ratio of 64.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering ORN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Provident Financial Services (PFS)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +65%

Founded in 1839 and serving communities across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, Provident Financial Services (NYSE: PFS) operates a regional bank providing commercial, residential, and consumer lending alongside wealth management and insurance services.

Why Does PFS Give Us Pause?

  1. Weak unit economics are reflected in its net interest margin of 3.2%, one of the worst among bank companies
  2. Earnings per share fell by 7.1% annually over the last two years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. Flat tangible book value per share over the last five years suggest it must find different ways to enhance shareholder value during this cycle

Provident Financial Services is trading at $18.47 per share, or 0.9x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than PFS.

One Growth Stock to Buy:

Ares (ARES)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +21.4%

With roots in the leveraged finance group of Apollo Management, Ares Management (NYSE: ARES) is an alternative investment firm that manages private equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure assets for institutional and high-net-worth clients.

Why Do We Love ARES?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 19.8% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. 32.8% annual growth in fee-related earnings over the last five years shows the firm optimized its expenses
  3. Earnings growth has easily exceeded the peer group average over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 17.3% annually

At $139.50 per share, Ares trades at 25x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
