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 Value Stocks on Our Watchlist and 1 to Ignore

PRKS Cover Image

The low valuation multiples for value stocks provide a margin of safety that growth stocks rarely offer. However, the challenge lies in determining whether these cheap assets are genuinely undervalued or simply on sale due to their potentially deteriorating business models.

Separating the winners from the value traps is a tough challenge, and that’s where StockStory comes in. Our job is to find you high-quality companies that will stand the test of time. Keeping that in mind, here are two value stocks trading at big discounts to their intrinsic values and one with little support.

One Value Stock to Sell:

D.R. Horton (DHI)

Forward P/E Ratio: 9.4x

One of the largest homebuilding companies in the U.S., D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) builds a variety of new construction homes across multiple markets.

Why Does DHI Fall Short?

  1. Backlog has dropped by 22.2% on average over the past two years, suggesting it’s losing orders as competition picks up
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 6.3% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

D.R. Horton’s stock price of $129.21 implies a valuation ratio of 9.4x forward price-to-earnings. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DHI doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Value Stocks to Watch:

United Parks & Resorts (PRKS)

Forward P/E Ratio: 9.6x

Parent company of SeaWorld and home of the world-famous Shamu, United Parks & Resorts (NYSE: PRKS) is a theme park chain featuring marine life, live entertainment, roller coasters, and waterparks.

Why Could PRKS Be a Winner?

  1. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year operating margin of 26.7%
  2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 24.3%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years
  3. Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets

At $45.96 per share, United Parks & Resorts trades at 9.6x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

United Therapeutics (UTHR)

Forward P/E Ratio: 10.1x

Founded in 1996 with a focus on treating rare diseases, United Therapeutics (NASDAQ: UTHR) is a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for rare diseases, particularly pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Why Does UTHR Stand Out?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 21.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends
  3. Rising returns on capital show management is finding more attractive investment opportunities

United Therapeutics is trading at $304.80 per share, or 10.1x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
