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 Volatile Stocks in Hot Water

WSC Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. That said, here are three volatile stocks best left to the gamblers and some better opportunities instead.

WillScot Mobile Mini (WSC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.70

Originally focusing on mobile offices for construction sites, WillScot (NASDAQ: WSC) provides ready-to-use temporary spaces, largely for longer-term lease.

Why Are We Cautious About WSC?

  1. Muted 2.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its industrials peers
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 10.1% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 5 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

WillScot Mobile Mini is trading at $27.04 per share, or 16.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why WSC doesn’t pass our bar.

Concrete Pumping (BBCP)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.76

Going public via SPAC in 2018, Concrete Pumping (NASDAQ: BBCP) is a provider of concrete pumping and waste management services in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Why Does BBCP Fall Short?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 9.7 percentage points

At $6.41 per share, Concrete Pumping trades at 14.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including BBCP in your portfolio.

Woodward (WWD)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.29

Initially designing controls for water wheels in the early 1900s, Woodward (NASDAQ: WWD) designs, services, and manufactures energy control products and optimization solutions.

Why Does WWD Worry Us?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 2.8% over the last five years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last five years as its EPS grew by just 3% annually
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 12.9 percentage points

Woodward’s stock price of $195.98 implies a valuation ratio of 29.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why WWD doesn’t pass our bar.
