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 Small-Cap Stocks in Hot Water

By: StockStory

THS Cover Image

Investors looking for hidden gems should keep an eye on small-cap stocks because they’re frequently overlooked by Wall Street. Many opportunities exist in this part of the market, but it is also a high-risk, high-reward environment due to the lack of reliable analyst price targets.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here are three small-cap stocks to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

TreeHouse Foods (THS)

Market Cap: $1.14 billion

Whether it be packaged crackers, broths, or beverages, Treehouse Foods (NYSE: THS) produces a wide range of private-label foods for grocery and food service customers.

Why Should You Dump THS?

  1. Falling unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its product strategy
  2. Easily substituted products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 16.5% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively

At $22.60 per share, TreeHouse Foods trades at 11.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why THS doesn’t pass our bar.

Richardson Electronics (RELL)

Market Cap: $128.1 million

Founded in 1947, Richardson Electronics (NASDAQ: RELL) is a distributor of power grid and microwave tubes as well as consumables related to those products.

Why Is RELL Risky?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 12.3% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 74.7% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. Low free cash flow margin of -0.4% for the last five years gives it little breathing room, constraining its ability to self-fund growth or return capital to shareholders

Richardson Electronics’s stock price of $8.89 implies a valuation ratio of 12.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including RELL in your portfolio.

BWX (BWXT)

Market Cap: $9.90 billion

Contributing components and materials to the famous Manhattan Project in the 1940s, BWX (NYSE: BWXT) is a manufacturer and service provider of nuclear components and fuel for government and commercial industries.

Why Are We Hesitant About BWXT?

  1. Muted 6.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its industrials peers
  2. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 2.4 percentage points
  3. Earnings growth over the last five years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 3.8% annually

BWX is trading at $109.68 per share, or 30.1x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with BWXT, check out our full research report (it’s free).
