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.

2 Industrials Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 We Find Risky

AXON Cover Image

Whether you see them or not, industrials businesses play a crucial part in our daily activities. Still, their generally high capital requirements expose them to the ups and downs of economic cycles, and the market seems confused about where we could go next. This uncertainty has led to a flat return for the industry over the past six months while the S&P 500 was up 4.1%.

The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. With that said, here are two industrials stocks boasting durable advantages and one we’re steering clear of.

One IndustrialsStock to Sell:

TPI Composites (TPIC)

Market Cap: $44.9 million

Founded in 1968, TPI Composites (NASDAQ: TPIC) manufactures composite wind turbine blades and provides related precision molding and assembly systems.

Why Should You Dump TPIC?

  1. Offerings couldn’t generate interest as its billings have averaged 11.5% declines over the past two years
  2. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
  3. Unprofitable operations could lead to additional rounds of dilutive equity financing if the credit window closes

TPI Composites’s stock price of $0.94 implies a valuation ratio of 0.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering TPIC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Industrials Stocks to Watch:

Axon (AXON)

Market Cap: $58.86 billion

Providing body cameras and tasers for first responders, AXON (NASDAQ: AXON) develops technology solutions and weapons products for military, law enforcement, and civilians.

Why Is AXON a Good Business?

  1. Products are seeing elevated demand as its unit sales averaged 32% growth over the past two years
  2. Free cash flow margin expanded by 20.3 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

At $755 per share, Axon trades at 127x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Ingersoll Rand (IR)

Market Cap: $34.52 billion

Started with the invention of the steam drill, Ingersoll Rand (NYSE: IR) provides mission-critical air, gas, liquid, and solid flow creation solutions.

Why Could IR Be a Winner?

  1. Operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 18.4% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 15.7% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business

Ingersoll Rand is trading at $85.53 per share, or 24.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
