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 $50 with Mounting Challenges

JAMF Cover Image

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here are three stocks under $50 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.

Jamf (JAMF)

Share Price: $10.25

Founded in 2002 by Zach Halmstad and Chip Pearson, right around the time when Apple began to dominate the personal computing market, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF) provides software for companies to manage Apple devices such as Macs, iPads, and iPhones.

Why Are We Cautious About JAMF?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last three years as its 17.7% annual growth was below the typical software company
  2. Products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy may need some adjustments as its 8.9% average billings growth over the last year was weak
  3. Historical operating margin losses point to an inefficient cost structure

Jamf’s stock price of $10.25 implies a valuation ratio of 2.1x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with JAMF, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Monro (MNRO)

Share Price: $15.84

Started as a single location in Rochester, New York, Monro (NASDAQ: MNRO) provides common auto services such as brake repairs, tire replacements, and oil changes.

Why Should You Dump MNRO?

  1. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and store experience
  2. Modest revenue base of $1.20 billion gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 24.4% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

Monro is trading at $15.84 per share, or 19.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MNRO doesn’t pass our bar.

Central Garden & Pet (CENT)

Share Price: $35.71

Enhancing the lives of both pets and homeowners, Central Garden & Pet (NASDAQ: CENT) is a leading producer and distributor of essential products for pet care, lawn and garden maintenance, and pest control.

Why Is CENT Risky?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Demand will likely be weak over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

At $35.71 per share, Central Garden & Pet trades at 15.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including CENT in your portfolio.
