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 Growth Stock with All-Star Potential and 2 to Ignore

PCTY 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 is one growth stock expanding its competitive advantage and two whose momentum may slow.

Two Growth Stocks to Sell:

Paylocity (PCTY)

1-Year Revenue Growth: +16%

Founded by payroll software veteran Steve Sarowitz in 1997, Paylocity (NASDAQ: PCTY) is a provider of payroll and HR software for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Why Does PCTY Worry Us?

  1. Customers have churned over the last year due to the commoditized nature of its software, as reflected in its 92% net revenue retention rate
  2. Estimated sales growth of 8.8% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Steep infrastructure costs and weaker unit economics for a software company are reflected in its low gross margin of 68.6%

Paylocity’s stock price of $205.51 implies a valuation ratio of 7.1x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including PCTY in your portfolio.

Tilray (TLRY)

1-Year Revenue Growth: +18.4%

Founded in 2013, Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY) engages in cannabis research, cultivation, and distribution, offering a range of medical and recreational cannabis products, hemp-based foods, and alcoholic beverages.

Why Should You Dump TLRY?

  1. Suboptimal cost structure is highlighted by its history of operating losses
  2. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
  3. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Tilray is trading at $0.75 per share, or 8.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering TLRY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Growth Stock to Watch:

DraftKings (DKNG)

1-Year Revenue Growth: +30.1%

Getting its start in daily fantasy sports, DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) is a digital sports entertainment and gaming company.

Why Should DKNG Be on Your Watchlist?

  1. Increase in monthly unique players shows customers are eagerly embracing its offerings
  2. Expected revenue growth of 35.7% for the next year suggests its market share will rise
  3. Free cash flow margin is on track to jump by 4.2 percentage points next year, meaning the company will have more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

At $44.65 per share, DraftKings trades at 35.5x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
