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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks Walking a Fine Line

TDOC Cover Image

Wall Street has set ambitious price targets for the stocks in this article. While this suggests attractive upside potential, it’s important to remain skeptical because analysts face institutional pressures that can sometimes lead to overly optimistic forecasts.

Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks where Wall Street may be overlooking some important risks and some alternatives with better fundamentals.

Teladoc (TDOC)

Consensus Price Target: $8.97 (30.1% implied return)

Founded to help people in rural areas get online medical consultations, Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) is a telemedicine platform that facilitates remote doctor’s visits.

Why Do We Think Twice About TDOC?

  1. Muted 6% annual revenue growth over the last three years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer internet peers
  2. Preference for prioritizing user growth over monetization has led to 5.3% annual drops in its average revenue per user
  3. Sales are projected to tank by 1.3% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates

At $6.90 per share, Teladoc trades at 4x forward EV/EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with TDOC, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Winnebago (WGO)

Consensus Price Target: $48.92 (41.5% implied return)

Created to provide high-quality, affordable RVs to the post-war American family, Winnebago (NYSE: WGO) is a manufacturer of recreational vehicles, providing a range of motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth-wheel products for outdoor and adventure lifestyles.

Why Do We Think WGO Will Underperform?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 21.4% annually over the last two years
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 28.9% annually
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Winnebago’s stock price of $34.58 implies a valuation ratio of 7.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering WGO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Stratasys (SSYS)

Consensus Price Target: $15.33 (46.4% implied return)

Born from the Founder’s idea of making a toy frog with a glue gun, Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) offers 3D printers and related materials, software, and services to many industries.

Why Should You Sell SSYS?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.7% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 13.6% annually, even worse than its revenue declines
  3. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth

Stratasys is trading at $10.47 per share, or 32.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SSYS.
