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.

1 Healthcare Stock on Our Watchlist and 2 to Brush Off

INCY Cover Image

From novel pharmaceuticals to telemedicine, most healthcare companies are on a mission to drive better patient outcomes. Despite the rosy long-term prospects, short-term headwinds such as COVID inventory destocking have harmed the industry’s returns - over the past six months, healthcare stocks have collectively shed 9.1%. This drop was worse than the S&P 500’s 1.8% loss.

Only some companies are subject to these dynamics, however, and a handful of high-quality businesses can deliver earnings growth in any environment. On that note, here is one healthcare stock boasting a durable advantage and two we’re passing on.

Two Healthcare Stocks to Sell:

Incyte (INCY)

Market Cap: $11.72 billion

Founded in 1991 and evolving from a genomics research firm to a commercial-stage drug developer, Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY) is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes proprietary therapeutics for cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Why Are We Hesitant About INCY?

  1. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last two years, causing its adjusted operating margin to decline by 13.9 percentage points
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 14.8% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Incyte is trading at $60 per share, or 10.4x forward price-to-earnings. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why INCY doesn’t pass our bar.

UFP Technologies (UFPT)

Market Cap: $1.63 billion

With expertise dating back to 1963 in specialized materials and precision manufacturing, UFP Technologies (NASDAQ: UFPT) designs and manufactures custom solutions for medical devices, sterile packaging, and other highly engineered products for healthcare and industrial applications.

Why Is UFPT Not Exciting?

  1. Modest revenue base of $504.4 million gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  2. Free cash flow margin has stayed in place over the last five years

At $211.99 per share, UFP Technologies trades at 3.3x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. If you’re considering UFPT for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Healthcare Stock to Watch:

Lantheus (LNTH)

Market Cap: $6.77 billion

Pioneering the "Find, Fight and Follow" approach to disease management, Lantheus Holdings (NASDAQGM:LNTH) develops and commercializes radiopharmaceuticals and other imaging agents that help healthcare professionals detect, diagnose, and treat diseases.

Why Could LNTH Be a Winner?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 34.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Free cash flow margin jumped by 31 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
  3. Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets

Lantheus’s stock price of $99.85 implies a valuation ratio of 14.3x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
