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 Stocks Under $50 Walking a Fine Line

LKQ Cover Image

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are three stocks under $50 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

LKQ (LKQ)

Share Price: $42.87

A global distributor of vehicle parts and accessories, LKQ (NASDAQ: LKQ) offers its customers a comprehensive selection of high-quality, affordably priced automobile products.

Why Do We Think LKQ Will Underperform?

  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. Projected sales are flat for the next 12 months, implying demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Underwhelming 11.1% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

LKQ’s stock price of $42.87 implies a valuation ratio of 11.9x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LKQ.

Lincoln Educational (LINC)

Share Price: $16.42

Established in 1946, Lincoln Educational (NASDAQ: LINC) is a provider of specialized technical training in the United States, offering career-oriented programs to provide practical skills required in the workforce.

Why Does LINC Give Us Pause?

  1. Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of enrolled students has underwhelmed
  2. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $16.42 per share, Lincoln Educational trades at 9.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LINC in your portfolio.

Privia Health (PRVA)

Share Price: $26

Founded in 2016, Privia Health Group (NASDAQ: PRVA) partners with physicians to establish technology-driven medical practices, aiming to improve healthcare delivery efficiency and patient experience.

Why Are We Wary of PRVA?

  1. Smaller revenue base of $1.74 billion means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  2. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business

Privia Health is trading at $26 per share, or 28.1x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering PRVA for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
