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 Reasons to Avoid WD and 1 Stock to Buy Instead

WD Cover Image

While the S&P 500 is up 30.6% since April 2025, Walker & Dunlop (currently trading at $82.70 per share) has lagged behind, posting a return of 14.8%. This may have investors wondering how to approach the situation.

Is now the time to buy Walker & Dunlop, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? Get the full stock story straight from our expert analysts, it’s free for active Edge members.

Why Is Walker & Dunlop Not Exciting?

We don't have much confidence in Walker & Dunlop. Here are three reasons you should be careful with WD and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Declining Net Interest Income Reflects Weakness

Our experience and research show the market cares primarily about a bank’s net interest income growth as one-time fees are considered a lower-quality and non-recurring revenue source.

Walker & Dunlop’s net interest income has declined by 56.7% annually over the last five years, much worse than the broader banking industry. This shows that lending underperformed its other business lines.

2. EPS Trending Down

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Sadly for Walker & Dunlop, its EPS declined by 6.9% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 5.4%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

3. Growing TBVPS Reflects Strong Asset Base

For banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) is a crucial metric that measures the actual value of shareholders’ equity, stripping out goodwill and other intangible assets that may not be recoverable in a worst-case scenario.

Although Walker & Dunlop’s TBVPS declined at a 4.5% annual clip over the last five years. the good news is that its growth inflected positive over the past two years as TBVPS grew at an impressive 14.8% annual clip (from $16.66 to $21.94 per share).

Final Judgment

Walker & Dunlop isn’t a terrible business, but it doesn’t pass our quality test. With its shares lagging the market recently, the stock trades at 1.5× forward P/B (or $82.70 per share). This valuation tells us it’s a bit of a market darling with a lot of good news priced in - we think there are better opportunities elsewhere. Let us point you toward one of our top digital advertising picks.
