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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks We Think Twice About

MOV Cover Image

Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

Unlike the investment banks, we created StockStory to provide independent analysis that helps you determine which companies are truly worth following. That said, here are three stocks where Wall Street may be overlooking some important risks and some alternatives with better fundamentals.

Movado (MOV)

Consensus Price Target: $31.50 (75.6% implied return)

With its watches displayed in 20 museums around the world, Movado (NYSE: MOV) is a watchmaking company with a portfolio of watch brands and accessories.

Why Are We Out on MOV?

  1. Sales tumbled by 4.3% annually over the last two years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
  2. Estimated sales growth of 1.2% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $17.94 per share, Movado trades at 0.6x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including MOV in your portfolio.

E.W. Scripps (SSP)

Consensus Price Target: $5.63 (160% implied return)

Founded as a chain of daily newspapers, E.W. Scripps (NASDAQ: SSP) is a diversified media enterprise operating a range of local television stations, national networks, and digital media platforms.

Why Do We Think SSP Will Underperform?

  1. Sales stagnated over the last two years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  2. Underwhelming 3.5% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

E.W. Scripps’s stock price of $2.17 implies a valuation ratio of 0.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering SSP for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Dentsply Sirona (XRAY)

Consensus Price Target: $16.29 (31.6% implied return)

With roots dating back to 1877 when it introduced the first dental electric drill, Dentsply Sirona (NASDAQ: XRAY) manufactures and sells professional dental equipment, technologies, and consumable products used by dentists and specialists worldwide.

Why Is XRAY Risky?

  1. Constant currency revenue growth has disappointed over the past two years and shows demand was soft
  2. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam
  3. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned

Dentsply Sirona is trading at $12.37 per share, or 6.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why XRAY doesn’t pass our bar.
