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 Value Stock to Keep an Eye On and 2 We Turn Down

GTM Cover Image

Value stocks typically trade at discounts to the broader market, offering patient investors the opportunity to buy businesses when they’re out of favor. The key risk, however, is that these stocks are usually cheap for a reason – five cents for a piece of fruit may seem like a great deal until you find out it’s rotten.

This distinction between true value and value traps can challenge even the most skilled investors. Luckily for you, we started StockStory to help you uncover exceptional companies. Keeping that in mind, here is one value stock trading at a big discount to its intrinsic value and two with little support.

Two Value Stocks to Sell:

ZoomInfo (GTM)

Forward P/S Ratio: 2.7x

Operating a platform it calls "RevOS" - short for Revenue Operating System - ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM) provides sales, marketing, and recruiting teams with business intelligence and analytics to identify prospects and deliver targeted outreach.

Why Do We Steer Clear of GTM?

  1. Average billings growth of 2.3% over the last year was subpar, suggesting it struggled to push its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate demand
  2. Projected sales are flat for the next 12 months, implying demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Operating profits increased over the last year as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient

At $10.03 per share, ZoomInfo trades at 2.7x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with GTM, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

Scorpio Tankers (STNG)

Forward P/E Ratio: 8.5x

Operating one of the youngest fleets in the industry, Scorpio Tankers (NYSE: STNG) is an international provider of marine transportation services, specializing in the shipment of refined petroleum.

Why Are We Cautious About STNG?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 1.5% annually over the last five years
  2. Performance surrounding its total vessels has lagged its peers
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 41.5% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

Scorpio Tankers’s stock price of $54 implies a valuation ratio of 8.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering STNG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Value Stock to Watch:

Deckers (DECK)

Forward P/E Ratio: 15x

Established in 1973, Deckers (NYSE: DECK) is a footwear and apparel conglomerate with a portfolio of lifestyle and performance brands.

Why Do We Like DECK?

  1. Steady constant currency growth over the past two years shows the company can pursue its global ambitions, even in uncertain economic times
  2. Share repurchases over the last five years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 31% to outpace its revenue gains
  3. Rising returns on capital show management is finding more attractive investment opportunities

Deckers is trading at $96.66 per share, or 15x 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.
