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 Healthcare Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 to Keep Off Your Radar

ASTH Cover Image

Healthcare companies are pushing the status quo by innovating in areas like drug development and digital health. But speed bumps such as inventory destockings have persisted in the wake of COVID-19, and over the past six months, the industry has pulled back by 6.6%. This drop was disheartening since the S&P 500 held its ground.

The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here are two healthcare stocks boasting durable advantages and one best left ignored.

One HealthcareStock to Sell:

U.S. Physical Therapy (USPH)

Market Cap: $1.19 billion

With a nationwide footprint spanning 671 clinics across 42 states, U.S. Physical Therapy (NYSE: USPH) operates a network of outpatient physical therapy clinics and provides industrial injury prevention services to employers across the United States.

Why Are We Wary of USPH?

  1. Modest revenue base of $699.5 million gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were less profitable as its earnings per share were flat
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 14.4 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

U.S. Physical Therapy’s stock price of $78.43 implies a valuation ratio of 29.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering USPH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Healthcare Stocks to Watch:

Astrana Health (ASTH)

Market Cap: $1.25 billion

Formerly known as Apollo Medical Holdings until early 2024, Astrana Health (NASDAQ: ASTH) operates a technology-powered healthcare platform that enables physicians to deliver coordinated care while successfully participating in value-based payment models.

Why Are We Positive On ASTH?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 35.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Notable projected revenue growth of 19.6% for the next 12 months hints at market share gains
  3. Earnings per share grew by 25% annually over the last five years and trumped its peers

Astrana Health is trading at $24.59 per share, or 6.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

BrightSpring Health Services (BTSG)

Market Cap: $3.97 billion

Founded in 1974, BrightSpring Health Services (NASDAQ: BTSG) offers home health care, hospice, neuro-rehabilitation, and pharmacy services.

Why Does BTSG Catch Our Eye?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 20.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable two-year growth trajectory
  3. Annual earnings per share growth of 6.9% over the last three years modestly outpaced its peers

At $22.02 per share, BrightSpring Health Services trades at 35.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump’s presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.
