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.

1 Cash-Heavy Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Brush Off

MYPS Cover Image

Companies with more cash than debt can be financially resilient, but that doesn’t mean they’re all strong investments. Some lack leverage because they struggle to grow or generate consistent profits, making them unattractive borrowers.

Not all businesses with cash are winners, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you separate the good from the bad. That said, here is one company with a net cash position that can continue growing sustainably and two with hidden risks.

Two Stocks to Sell:

PlayStudios (MYPS)

Net Cash Position: $98.07 million (62.8% of Market Cap)

Founded by a team of former gaming industry executives, PlayStudios (NASDAQ: MYPS) offers free-to-play digital casino games.

Why Do We Think Twice About MYPS?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 4.4% over the last two years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Historical operating margin losses point to an inefficient cost structure
  3. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction

PlayStudios’s stock price of $1.26 implies a valuation ratio of 3.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with MYPS, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Accenture (ACN)

Net Cash Position: $1.47 billion (0.8% of Market Cap)

With a workforce of approximately 774,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is a professional services firm that helps organizations transform their businesses through consulting, technology, operations, and digital services.

Why Are We Wary of ACN?

  1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 3.8% over the last two years was below our standards for the business services sector
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 4.1 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Accenture is trading at $281.19 per share, or 21.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering ACN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Skyward Specialty Insurance (SKWD)

Net Cash Position: $134 million (6.4% of Market Cap)

Founded in 2006 to serve markets where standard insurance coverage falls short, Skyward Specialty Insurance (NASDAQ: SKWD) provides customized commercial property, casualty, and health insurance solutions for underserved or specialized market niches.

Why Is SKWD a Top Pick?

  1. Annual net premiums earned growth of 30.6% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 47.6% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Impressive 25% annual book value per share growth over the last two years indicates it’s building equity value this cycle

At $52 per share, Skyward Specialty Insurance trades at 2.4x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
