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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks to Target This Week and 1 to Question

EPC Cover Image

Wall Street has set ambitious price targets for the stocks in this article. While this suggests attractive upside potential, it’s important to remain skeptical because analysts face institutional pressures that can sometimes lead to overly optimistic forecasts.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and one where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

One Stock to Sell:

Edgewell Personal Care (EPC)

Consensus Price Target: $40.63 (24.8% implied return)

Boasting brands such as Banana Boat, Schick, and Skintimate, Edgewell Personal Care (NYSE: EPC) sells personal care products in the skin and sun care, shave, and feminine care categories.

Why Should You Sell EPC?

  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. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last year as its free cash flow margin decreased by 2.7 percentage points

At $28.95 per share, Edgewell Personal Care trades at 9.1x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than EPC.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Karat Packaging (KRT)

Consensus Price Target: $33 (26.6% implied return)

Founded as Lollicup, Karat Packaging (NASDAQ: KRT) distributes and manufactures environmentally-friendly disposable foodservice packaging solutions.

Why Could KRT Be a Winner?

  1. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last three years, increasing by 19% annually
  2. Free cash flow margin grew by 18 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
  3. Industry-leading 15.6% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its returns are climbing as it finds even more attractive growth opportunities

Karat Packaging’s stock price of $24.88 implies a valuation ratio of 13.7x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

United Therapeutics (UTHR)

Consensus Price Target: $404.16 (43.1% implied return)

Founded by a mother seeking treatment for her daughter's pulmonary arterial hypertension, United Therapeutics (NASDAQ: UTHR) develops and commercializes medications for chronic lung diseases and other life-threatening conditions, with a focus on pulmonary hypertension treatments.

Why Do We Like UTHR?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 21.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends
  3. Improving returns on capital reflect management’s ability to monetize investments

United Therapeutics is trading at $279.95 per share, or 9.2x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
