About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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 Unprofitable Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 to Think Twice About

MRVL Cover Image

Running at a loss can be a red flag. Many of these businesses face mounting challenges as competition increases and funding becomes harder to secure.

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. Keeping that in mind, here is one unprofitable company with the potential to become an industry leader and two best left off your radar.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Clover Health (CLOV)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -1.6%

Founded in 2014 to improve healthcare for America's seniors through technology, Clover Health (NASDAQ: CLOV) provides Medicare Advantage plans for seniors with a focus on affordable care and uses its proprietary Clover Assistant software to help physicians manage patient care.

Why Does CLOV Give Us Pause?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 28.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Weak customer trends over the past two years suggest it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  3. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments

Clover Health’s stock price of $2.91 implies a valuation ratio of 39.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering CLOV for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

PAR Technology (PAR)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -17.7%

Originally founded in 1968 as a defense contractor for the U.S. government, PAR Technology (NYSE: PAR) provides cloud-based software, payment processing, and hardware solutions that help restaurants manage everything from point-of-sale to customer loyalty programs.

Why Is PAR Not Exciting?

  1. Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 6.3 percentage points
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

At $62.73 per share, PAR Technology trades at 237.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including PAR in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Marvell Technology (MRVL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -4.6%

Moving away from a low margin storage device management chips in one of the biggest semiconductor business model pivots of the past decade, Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is a fabless designer of special purpose data processing and networking chips used by data centers, communications carriers, enterprises, and autos.

Why Could MRVL Be a Winner?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 18.9% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Demand for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust revenue growth of 31.8%
  3. Additional sales over the last five years increased its profitability as the 23.5% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue

Marvell Technology is trading at $69.70 per share, or 23.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
