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 Industrials Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 to Brush Off

ARIS Cover Image

Industrials businesses quietly power the physical things we depend on, from cars and homes to e-commerce infrastructure. But they are at the whim of volatile macroeconomic factors that influence capital spending (like interest rates), and the market seems convinced that demand will slow. Due to this bearish outlook, the industry has tumbled by 11.2% over the past six months. This drop was worse than the S&P 500’s 5.6% loss.

The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here is one resilient industrials stock at the top of our wish list and two we’re swiping left on.

Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:

Quest Resource (QRHC)

Market Cap: $45.75 million

Recycling corporate waste to help companies be more sustainable, Quest Resource (NASDAQ: QRHC) is a provider of waste and recycling services.

Why Do We Pass on QRHC?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last two years
  2. 6.4 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Quest Resource’s stock price of $2.22 implies a valuation ratio of 5.9x forward price-to-earnings. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including QRHC in your portfolio.

Hub Group (HUBG)

Market Cap: $1.98 billion

Started with $10,000, Hub Group (NASDAQ: HUBG) is a provider of intermodal, truck brokerage, and logistics services, facilitating transportation solutions for businesses worldwide.

Why Should You Sell HUBG?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to accelerate growth
  2. High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 12.9% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 43.4% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

At $35.34 per share, Hub Group trades at 14x forward price-to-earnings. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HUBG doesn’t pass our bar.

One Industrials Stock to Buy:

Aris Water (ARIS)

Market Cap: $856.7 million

Primarily serving the oil and gas industry, Aris Water (NYSE: ARIS) is a provider of water handling and recycling solutions.

Why Are We Bullish on ARIS?

  1. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and lead to a best-in-class gross margin of 54.9%
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 24.6% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow profile has moved into positive territory over the last five years, indicating the company has passed a significant test

Aris Water is trading at $26.08 per share, or 15x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
