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 Industrials Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 to Ignore

NXT Cover Image

Even if they go mostly unnoticed, industrial businesses are the backbone of our country. Still, their generally high capital requirements expose them to the ups and downs of economic cycles, and the market seems to be baking in a prolonged downturn as the industry has shed 7.6% over the past six months. This drawdown was worse than the S&P 500’s 1.8% fall.

The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Taking that into account, here are two industrials stocks boasting durable advantages and one best left ignored.

One Industrials Stock to Sell:

Mercury Systems (MRCY)

Market Cap: $2.77 billion

Founded in 1981, Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY) specializes in providing processing subsystems and components for primarily defense applications.

Why Do We Steer Clear of MRCY?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 47.2% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

Mercury Systems is trading at $46.90 per share, or 91.9x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering MRCY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Industrials Stocks to Watch:

Nextracker (NXT)

Market Cap: $6.46 billion

With its technology playing a key role in the massive 1.2 gigawatt Noor Abu Dabhi solar farm project, Nextracker (NASDAQ: NXT) is a provider of solar tracker systems that help solar panels follow the sun.

Why Is NXT a Good Business?

  1. Average backlog growth of 56.1% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 131% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 13.1 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Nextracker’s stock price of $44.40 implies a valuation ratio of 13.8x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

ITT (ITT)

Market Cap: $11.01 billion

Playing a crucial role in the development of the first transatlantic television transmission in 1956, ITT (NYSE: ITT) provides motion and fluid handling equipment for various industries

Why Are We Positive On ITT?

  1. 10.2% annual revenue growth over the last two years surpassed the sector average as its offerings resonated with customers
  2. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  3. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities

At $135.12 per share, ITT trades at 20.8x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
