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 Growth Stocks to Add to Your Roster and 1 That Underwhelm

HOOD Cover Image

Growth is a hallmark of all great companies, but the laws of gravity eventually take hold. Those who rode the COVID boom and ensuing tech selloff in 2022 will surely remember that the market’s punishment can be swift and severe when trajectories fall.

The risks that can come from buying these assets is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are two growth stocks with significant upside potential and one climbing an uphill battle.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

Encore Capital Group (ECPG)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.5%

Operating in the often misunderstood world of debt collection since 1999, Encore Capital Group (NASDAQ: ECPG) purchases portfolios of defaulted consumer debt at deep discounts and works with individuals to recover these obligations while helping them toward financial recovery.

Why Are We Cautious About ECPG?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share fell by 49% annually over the last five years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. 13× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings

Encore Capital Group is trading at $41.38 per share, or 6.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ECPG in your portfolio.

Two Growth Stocks to Watch:

Robinhood (HOOD)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +59.4%

With a mission to democratize finance, Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) is an online consumer finance platform known for its commission-free stock and crypto trading.

Why Is HOOD a Top Pick?

  1. 40.9% annual increases in its average revenue per user over the last two years show its platform is resonating with power users
  2. Incremental sales over the last three years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 54.6% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. HOOD is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute

Robinhood’s stock price of $144.35 implies a valuation ratio of 46.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

SoundHound AI (SOUN)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +137%

Born from the idea that machines should understand human speech as naturally as people do, SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) develops voice recognition and conversational intelligence technology that enables businesses to integrate voice assistants into their products and services.

Why Does SOUN Catch Our Eye?

  1. Average billings growth of 202% over the last year enhances its liquidity and shows there is steady demand for its products
  2. Revenue outlook for the upcoming 12 months is outstanding and shows it’s on track to gain market share
  3. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs

At $18.03 per share, SoundHound AI trades at 39.1x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
