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 Small-Cap Stocks Skating on Thin Ice

LCID Cover Image

Investors looking for hidden gems should keep an eye on small-cap stocks because they’re frequently overlooked by Wall Street. Many opportunities exist in this part of the market, but it is also a high-risk, high-reward environment due to the lack of reliable analyst price targets.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are three small-cap stocks to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

Lucid (LCID)

Market Cap: $6.62 billion

Founded by a former Tesla Vice President, Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) designs, manufactures, and sells luxury electric vehicles with long-range capabilities.

Why Are We Cautious About LCID?

  1. Negative gross margin means it loses money on every sale and must pivot or scale quickly to survive
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $2.16 per share, Lucid trades at 3.8x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LCID.

Artivion (AORT)

Market Cap: $1.46 billion

Formerly known as CryoLife until its 2022 rebranding, Artivion (NYSE: AORT) develops and manufactures medical devices and preserves human tissues used in cardiac and vascular surgical procedures for patients with aortic disease.

Why Should You Dump AORT?

  1. Muted 7.2% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its healthcare peers
  2. Smaller revenue base of $390.1 million means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  3. Underwhelming 1.9% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Artivion is trading at $31.99 per share, or 46.2x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with AORT, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Bank of Hawaii (BOH)

Market Cap: $2.67 billion

Founded in 1897 as a financial anchor for the newly annexed Hawaiian territory, Bank of Hawaii (NYSE: BOH) is a financial institution providing banking, investment, and insurance services primarily to customers in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific Islands.

Why Do We Think Twice About BOH?

  1. Net interest income was flat over the last four years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
  2. Net interest margin of 2.2% reflects its high servicing and capital costs
  3. Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 6.8% annually while its revenue was flat

Bank of Hawaii’s stock price of $67.08 implies a valuation ratio of 1.8x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BOH doesn’t pass our bar.
