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.

2 Unprofitable Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 to Turn Down

MEG Cover Image

Unprofitable companies face headwinds as they struggle to keep operating expenses under control. Some may be investing heavily, but the majority fail to convert spending into sustainable growth.

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 two unprofitable companies with the potential to become industry leaders and one best left off your radar.

One Stock to Sell:

3D Systems (DDD)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -63.5%

Founded by the inventor of stereolithography, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) engineers, manufactures, and sells 3D printers and other related products to the aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods industries.

Why Are We Out on DDD?

  1. Sales tumbled by 6.9% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

3D Systems is trading at $1.36 per share, or 0.5x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering DDD for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Montrose (MEG)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -5.2%

Founded to protect a tree-lined two-lane road, Montrose (NYSE: MEG) provides air quality monitoring, environmental laboratory testing, compliance, and environmental consulting services.

Why Could MEG Be a Winner?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 15.3% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 146% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin expanded by 6.9 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends

At $21.78 per share, Montrose trades at 8.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Alignment Healthcare (ALHC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -2.2%

Founded in 2013 with a mission to transform healthcare for seniors, Alignment Healthcare (NASDAQ: ALHC) provides Medicare Advantage health plans for seniors with features like concierge services, transportation benefits, and technology-driven care coordination.

Why Is ALHC a Good Business?

  1. Business is winning new contracts that can potentially increase in value as its customer base averaged 38.8% growth over the past two years
  2. Market share will likely rise over the next 12 months as its expected revenue growth of 34.7% is robust
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last three years, increasing by 28.3% annually

Alignment Healthcare’s stock price of $13.96 implies a valuation ratio of 48.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
