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 Profitable Stocks with Questionable Fundamentals

RAMP Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. Keeping that in mind, here are three profitable companies that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

LiveRamp (RAMP)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 2.3%

Serving as the digital middleman in an increasingly privacy-conscious world, LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP) provides technology that helps companies securely share and connect their customer data with trusted partners while maintaining privacy compliance.

Why Are We Cautious About RAMP?

  1. ARR growth averaged a weak 8.9% over the last year, suggesting that competition is pulling some attention away from its software
  2. Estimated sales growth of 7.8% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Operating margin improvement of 1.8 percentage points over the last year demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently

At $27.22 per share, LiveRamp trades at 2.2x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why RAMP doesn’t pass our bar.

Laureate Education (LAUR)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 24.2%

Founded in 1998 by Douglas L. Becker and based in Miami, Laureate Education (NASDAQ: LAUR) is a global network of higher education institutions.

Why Are We Hesitant About LAUR?

  1. Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of enrolled students has underwhelmed
  2. Earnings per share fell by 9.3% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. ROIC of 9.3% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

Laureate Education is trading at $29.22 per share, or 15.1x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with LAUR, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

EPAM (EPAM)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.6%

Founded in 1993 during the early days of offshore software development, EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM) provides digital engineering, cloud, and AI transformation services to help global enterprises and startups modernize their technology systems and create digital products.

Why Does EPAM Fall Short?

  1. Underwhelming constant currency revenue performance over the past two years suggests its product offering at current prices doesn’t resonate with customers
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were less profitable as its earnings per share were flat
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

EPAM’s stock price of $141.75 implies a valuation ratio of 12.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EPAM in your portfolio.
