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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks Playing with Fire

SKLZ Cover Image

Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks where Wall Street may be overlooking some important risks and some alternatives with better fundamentals.

Skillz (SKLZ)

Consensus Price Target: $10.25 (44.4% implied return)

Taking a new twist at video gaming, Skillz (NYSE: SKLZ) offers developers a platform to create and distribute mobile games where players can pay fees to compete for cash prizes.

Why Do We Think SKLZ Will Underperform?

  1. Struggled with new customer acquisition as its paying monthly active users averaged 33.6% declines
  2. Poor expense management has led to EBITDA margin losses
  3. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth

Skillz is trading at $7.10 per share, or 1.4x forward price-to-gross profit. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SKLZ in your portfolio.

Krispy Kreme (DNUT)

Consensus Price Target: $7.49 (123% implied return)

Famous for its Original Glazed doughnuts and parent company of Insomnia Cookies, Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ: DNUT) is one of the most beloved and well-known fast-food chains in the world.

Why Are We Out on DNUT?

  1. Earnings per share have dipped by 100% annually over the past three years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

At $3.35 per share, Krispy Kreme trades at 33.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering DNUT for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Tyson Foods (TSN)

Consensus Price Target: $66.56 (21.5% implied return)

Started as a simple trucking business, Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) is one of the world’s largest producers of chicken, beef, and pork.

Why Do We Steer Clear of TSN?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 1.5% annual revenue increases over the last three years fell short of other consumer staples companies
  2. Easily substituted products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 7.1% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Earnings per share have contracted by 27.6% annually over the last three years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance

Tyson Foods’s stock price of $54.80 implies a valuation ratio of 14.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TSN.
