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 Unprofitable Stocks Skating on Thin Ice

BYND Cover Image

Unprofitable companies can burn through cash quickly, leaving investors exposed if they fail to turn things around. Without a clear path to profitability, these businesses risk running out of capital or relying on dilutive fundraising.

Unprofitable companies face an uphill battle, but not all are created equal. Luckily for you, StockStory is here to separate the promising ones from the weak. That said, here are three unprofitable companies to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Beyond Meat (BYND)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -49.7%

A pioneer at the forefront of the plant-based protein revolution, Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) is a food company specializing in alternatives to traditional meat products.

Why Do We Avoid BYND?

  1. Falling unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Beyond Meat is trading at $3.16 per share, or 0.8x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BYND doesn’t pass our bar.

Bally's (BALY)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -8.3%

Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) is a diversified global casino-entertainment company that owns and manages casinos, resorts, and online gaming platforms.

Why Are We Out on BALY?

  1. Lackluster 2.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

At $9.24 per share, Bally's trades at 1.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including BALY in your portfolio.

Xerox (XRX)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -15.4%

Pioneering the modern office copier and inventing technologies like Ethernet and the laser printer, Xerox (NASDAQ: XRX) provides document management systems, printing technology, and workplace solutions to businesses of all sizes across the globe.

Why Should You Dump XRX?

  1. Annual sales declines of 6.7% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

Xerox’s stock price of $5.38 implies a valuation ratio of 5.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering XRX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
