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.

1 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stock Worth Investigating and 2 to Think Twice About

UPWK Cover Image

Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. That said, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where analysts may be overlooking some important risks.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Constellation Brands (STZ)

Consensus Price Target: $216.29 (32.5% implied return)

With a presence in more than 100 countries, Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) is a globally renowned producer and marketer of beer, wine, and spirits.

Why Does STZ Worry Us?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Projected sales decline of 6.6% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  3. Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 28.3 percentage points

Constellation Brands’s stock price of $163.20 implies a valuation ratio of 11.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than STZ.

GE HealthCare (GEHC)

Consensus Price Target: $87.40 (18.3% implied return)

Spun off from industrial giant General Electric in 2023 after over a century as its healthcare division, GE HealthCare (NASDAQ: GEHC) provides medical imaging equipment, patient monitoring systems, diagnostic pharmaceuticals, and AI-enabled healthcare solutions to hospitals and clinics worldwide.

Why Are We Cautious About GEHC?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Anticipated sales growth of 3.7% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
  3. Incremental sales over the last three years were less profitable as its earnings per share were flat while its revenue grew

GE HealthCare is trading at $73.90 per share, or 15.1x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with GEHC, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

Upwork (UPWK)

Consensus Price Target: $19.10 (39.8% implied return)

Formed through the 2013 merger of Elance and oDesk, Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK) is an online platform where businesses and independent professionals connect to get work done.

Why Are We Positive On UPWK?

  1. Monetization efforts are paying off as its average revenue per customer has grown by 8.3% annually over the last two years
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 395% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 27 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with

At $13.66 per share, Upwork trades at 10.3x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
