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 Cash-Producing Stocks Facing Headwinds

TENB Cover Image

A company that generates cash isn’t automatically a winner. Some businesses stockpile cash but fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their ability to expand.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. Keeping that in mind, here are three cash-producing companies to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Tenable (TENB)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 26%

Founded in 2002 by three cybersecurity veterans, Tenable (NASDAQ: TENB) provides software as a service that helps companies understand where they are exposed to cyber security risk and how to reduce it.

Why Do We Think Twice About TENB?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 16.9% over the last three years was below our standards for the software sector
  2. Estimated sales growth of 7.5% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Persistent operating losses suggest the business manages its expenses poorly

Tenable’s stock price of $31.83 implies a valuation ratio of 3.8x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with TENB, check out our full research report (it’s free).

General Motors (GM)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 7%

Founded in 1908 by William C. Durant, General Motors (NYSE: GM) offers a range of vehicles and automobiles through brands such as Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac.

Why Is GM Not Exciting?

  1. Disappointing unit sales over the past two years show it’s struggled to increase its sales volumes and had to rely on price increases
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 6.2% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates
  3. Gross margin of 12.5% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D

At $45.50 per share, General Motors trades at 4.2x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than GM.

CooperCompanies (COO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 9.8%

With a history dating back to 1958 and a portfolio spanning two distinct healthcare segments, Cooper Companies (NASDAQ: COO) develops and manufactures medical devices focused on vision care through contact lenses and women's health including fertility products and services.

Why Does COO Fall Short?

  1. Performance over the past five years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share grew slower than its revenue
  2. ROIC of 4.9% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

CooperCompanies is trading at $80.01 per share, or 19.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering COO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
