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.

3 Stocks Under $10 with Questionable Fundamentals

FLWS Cover Image

Stocks trading in the $1-10 range are generally smaller players with less risk than their penny stock counterparts. But that doesn’t mean the underlying businesses are cheap, and we advise caution as many have questionable fundamentals.

The bad behavior exhibited by lower-quality companies in this space can spook even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $10 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

1-800-FLOWERS (FLWS)

Share Price: $5.15

Founded in 1976, 1-800-FLOWERS (NASDAQ: FLWS) is an online retailer of flowers, gifts, and gourmet foods, serving customers globally.

Why Should You Dump FLWS?

  1. Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 9.9% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share fell by 24.2% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned

1-800-FLOWERS’s stock price of $5.15 implies a valuation ratio of 17.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than FLWS.

Blink Charging (BLNK)

Share Price: $1.01

One of the first EV charging companies to go public, Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) is a manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and networked EV charging services.

Why Are We Wary of BLNK?

  1. Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 10.2% annually while its revenue grew
  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

Blink Charging is trading at $1.01 per share, or 0.9x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with BLNK, check out our full research report (it’s free).

AdaptHealth (AHCO)

Share Price: $9.45

With a network of approximately 680 locations serving patients across all 50 states, AdaptHealth (NASDAQ: AHCO) provides home medical equipment, supplies, and related services to patients with chronic conditions like sleep apnea, diabetes, and respiratory disorders.

Why Are We Hesitant About AHCO?

  1. Muted 3.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its healthcare peers
  2. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its falling returns suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up
  3. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value

At $9.45 per share, AdaptHealth trades at 8.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering AHCO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
