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 Growth Stocks with Questionable Fundamentals

MU Cover Image

Growth is a hallmark of all great companies, but the laws of gravity eventually take hold. Those who rode the COVID boom and ensuing tech selloff in 2022 will surely remember that the market’s punishment can be swift and severe when trajectories fall.

Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. On that note, here are three growth stocks whose momentum may slow and some other opportunities you should look into instead.

Micron (MU)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +71.1%

Founded in the basement of a Boise, Idaho dental office in 1978, Micron (NYSE: MU) is a leading provider of memory chips used in thousands of devices across mobile, data centers, industrial, consumer, and automotive markets.

Why Are We Cautious About MU?

  1. Gross margin of 21.8% reflects its high production costs
  2. Operating margin of 4.1% falls short of the industry average, and the smaller profit dollars make it harder to react to unexpected market developments
  3. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value

At $116.18 per share, Micron trades at 13.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with MU, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Paycor (PYCR)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.7%

Founded in 1990 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Paycor (NASDAQ: PYCR) provides software for small businesses to manage their payroll and HR needs in one place.

Why Does PYCR Give Us Pause?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 9.6% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  2. Gross margin of 66% reflects its relatively high servicing costs
  3. Suboptimal cost structure is highlighted by its history of operating margin losses

Paycor’s stock price of $22.49 implies a valuation ratio of 5.3x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PYCR doesn’t pass our bar.

RTX (RTX)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.1%

Originally focused on refrigeration technology, Raytheon (NSYE:RTX) provides a a variety of products and services to the aerospace and defense industries.

Why Do We Think Twice About RTX?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Performance over the past five years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share were flat while its revenue grew
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities

RTX is trading at $141.85 per share, or 22.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering RTX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
