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 Stocks Under $10 Skating on Thin Ice

ASUR Cover Image

Investors can certainly boost their returns by concentrating on stocks trading between $1 and $10. However, a disciplined approach is necessary because many of these businesses are speculative and lack the underlying fundamentals to support their prices.

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. That said, here are three stocks under $10 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

Asure (ASUR)

Share Price: $9.61

Created from the merger of two small workforce management companies in 2007, Asure (NASDAQ: ASUR) provides cloud based payroll and HR software for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Why Is ASUR Not Exciting?

  1. 15.1% annual revenue growth over the last three years was slower than its software peers
  2. Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 7.9% over the last year did not impress
  3. Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 5.4 percentage points

At $9.61 per share, Asure trades at 1.9x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ASUR doesn’t pass our bar.

Coursera (COUR)

Share Price: $9.20

Founded by two Stanford University computer science professors, Coursera (NYSE: COUR) is an online learning platform that offers courses, specializations, and degrees from top universities and organizations around the world.

Why Are We Wary of COUR?

  1. Customer spending has dipped by 5.2% on average as it focused on growing its customers
  2. Estimated sales growth of 4.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Highly competitive market means it’s on the never-ending treadmill of sales and marketing spend

Coursera is trading at $9.20 per share, or 26.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than COUR.

The ONE Group (STKS)

Share Price: $3.39

Doubling as a hospitality services provider for hotels and resorts, The One Group Hospitality (NASDAQ: STKS) is an upscale restaurant company that operates STK Steakhouse and Kona Grill.

Why Do We Avoid STKS?

  1. Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new diners into its restaurants
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 17.6% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

The ONE Group’s stock price of $3.39 implies a valuation ratio of 1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with STKS, check out our full research report (it’s free).
