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.

2 Mid-Cap Stocks to Consider Right Now and 1 That Underwhelm

TOST Cover Image

Mid-cap stocks have the best odds of scaling into $100 billion corporations thanks to their tested business models and large addressable markets. But the many opportunities in front of them attract significant competition, spanning from industry behemoths with seemingly infinite resources to small, nimble players with chips on their shoulders.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are two mid-cap stocks with huge upside potential and one best left ignored.

One Mid-Cap Stock to Sell:

Moderna (MRNA)

Market Cap: $10.16 billion

Rising to global prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic with one of the first effective vaccines, Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) develops messenger RNA (mRNA) medicines that direct the body's cells to produce proteins with therapeutic or preventive benefits for various diseases.

Why Do We Think MRNA Will Underperform?

  1. Annual sales declines of 46.3% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 242.8 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Moderna is trading at $26.18 per share, or 5.5x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with MRNA, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Toast (TOST)

Market Cap: $21.86 billion

Born from the frustrations of three friends waiting too long for their restaurant bill, Toast (NYSE: TOST) provides a cloud-based digital technology platform with software, payment processing, and hardware solutions built specifically for restaurants.

Why Could TOST Be a Winner?

  1. ARR trends over the last year show it’s maintaining a steady flow of long-term contracts that contribute positively to its revenue predictability
  2. Projected revenue growth of 20.9% for the next 12 months suggests its momentum from the last two years will persist

At $37.79 per share, Toast trades at 3.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Erie Indemnity (ERIE)

Market Cap: $16.56 billion

Operating under a unique business model dating back to 1925, Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ: ERIE) serves as the attorney-in-fact for Erie Insurance Exchange, managing policy issuance, claims handling, and investment services for this reciprocal insurer.

Why Are We Backing ERIE?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 14.4% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Annual book value per share growth of 12.8% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting strong capital accumulation this cycle
  3. Stellar return on equity showcases management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Erie Indemnity’s stock price of $315 implies a valuation ratio of 4.2x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
