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 Restaurant Stocks to Add to Your Roster

CMG Cover Image

Restaurants increase convenience and give many people a place to unwind. It also feels like demand is strong as consumers always seem to be chasing the next hot place or viral fast food creation on social media. No surprise the industry has returned 25.6% over the past six months, beating the S&P 500 by 10.1 percentage points.

Regardless of these results, investors should tread carefully as many companies will light cash on fire by opening new locations without the proper justifications. Taking that into account, here are three restaurant stocks boasting durable advantages.

Chipotle (CMG)

Market Cap: $79.58 billion

Born from a desire to offer quick meals with fresh, flavorful ingredients, Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) is a fast-food chain known for its healthy, Mexican-inspired cuisine and customizable dishes.

Why Will CMG Outperform?

  1. Aggressive strategy of rolling out new restaurants to gobble up whitespace is prudent given its same-store sales growth
  2. Same-store sales growth over the past two years show it’s successfully drawing diners into its restaurants
  3. Customer loyalty and massive revenue base of $10.98 billion give it meaningful negotiating power with suppliers

At $59.78 per share, Chipotle trades at 47.2x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Wingstop (WING)

Market Cap: $8.87 billion

The passion project of two chicken wing aficionados in Texas, Wingstop (NASDAQ: WING) is a popular fast-food chain known for its flavorful and crispy chicken wings offered in a variety of sauces and seasonings.

Why Are We Backing WING?

  1. Customers are lining up to eat at its restaurants as their same-store sales growth averaged 19.2%
  2. Disciplined cost controls and effective management result in a strong two-year operating margin of 25.8%
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 20.7% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

Wingstop is trading at $305 per share, or 68.4x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Sweetgreen (SG)

Market Cap: $3.78 billion

Founded in 2007 by three Georgetown University alum, Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) is a casual quick service chain known for its healthy salads and bowls.

Why Is SG on Our Radar?

  1. Fast expansion of new restaurants to reach markets with few or no locations is justified by its same-store sales growth
  2. Same-store sales growth averaged 5.2%, showing it’s bringing new and repeat diners into its restaurants
  3. Earnings per share grew by 58.4% annually over the last three years, massively outpacing its peers

Sweetgreen’s stock price of $33.59 implies a valuation ratio of 118.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
