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 Overrated Stocks Showing Warning Signs

DOMO Cover Image

The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.

However, not all companies with momentum are long-term winners, and many investors have lost money by following short-term trends. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks getting more buzz than they deserve and some you should buy instead.

Domo (DOMO)

One-Month Return: +78.1%

Founded by Josh James after selling his former business Omniture to Adobe, Domo (NASDAQ: DOMO) provides business intelligence software that allows managers to access and visualize critical business metrics in real-time, using their smartphones.

Why Are We Out on DOMO?

  1. Offerings couldn’t generate interest over the last year as its billings have averaged 2.4% declines
  2. Customer acquisition costs take a while to recoup, making it difficult to justify sales and marketing investments that could increase revenue
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Domo’s stock price of $13.75 implies a valuation ratio of 1.7x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DOMO doesn’t pass our bar.

Allient (ALNT)

One-Month Return: +46%

Founded in 1962, Allient (NASDAQ: ALNT) develops and manufactures precision and specialty-controlled motion components and systems.

Why Do We Avoid ALNT?

  1. Annual sales declines of 1.7% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Projected sales growth of 3.7% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
  3. Issuance of new shares over the last two years caused its earnings per share to fall by 16% annually, even worse than its revenue declines

At $31.74 per share, Allient trades at 16.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ALNT in your portfolio.

Sanmina (SANM)

One-Month Return: +12.2%

Founded in 1980, Sanmina (NASDAQ: SANM) is an electronics manufacturing services company offering end-to-end solutions for various industries.

Why Do We Pass on SANM?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 6.2% annually over the last two years
  2. Competitive supply chain dynamics and steep production costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 8.2%
  3. Earnings per share have contracted by 4.2% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance

Sanmina is trading at $88.46 per share, or 13.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering SANM for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
