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 Exciting Potential and 1 We Turn Down

DXPE Cover Image

Even if they go mostly unnoticed, industrial businesses are the backbone of our country. 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%.

Despite the lackluster result, a few diamonds in the rough can produce earnings growth no matter what, and we started StockStory to help you find them. With that said, here are two industrials stocks we think can generate sustainable market-beating returns and one that may face trouble.

One IndustrialsStock to Sell:

Huntington Ingalls (HII)

Market Cap: $9.99 billion

Building Nimitz-class aircraft carriers used in active service, Huntington Ingalls (NYSE: HII) develops marine vessels and their mission systems and maintenance services.

Why Should You Sell HII?

  1. Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth may not meet our standards as its average backlog growth of 1.8% for the past two years was weak
  2. 9.2 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Huntington Ingalls’s stock price of $257.50 implies a valuation ratio of 18x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with HII, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Industrials Stocks to Watch:

DXP (DXPE)

Market Cap: $1.56 billion

Founded during the emergence of Big Oil in Texas, DXP (NASDAQ: DXPE) provides pumps, valves, and other industrial components.

Why Could DXPE Be a Winner?

  1. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  2. Performance over the past two years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. Rising returns on capital show management is finding more attractive investment opportunities

At $101.30 per share, DXP trades at 18.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Leonardo DRS (DRS)

Market Cap: $12.8 billion

Developing submarine detection systems for the U.S. Navy, Leonardo DRS (NASDAQ: DRS) is a provider of defense systems, electronics, and military support services.

Why Should DRS Be on Your Watchlist?

  1. Demand is greater than supply as the company’s 54.4% average backlog growth over the past two years shows it’s securing new contracts and accumulating more orders than it can fulfill
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 17.5% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 4.7 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

Leonardo DRS is trading at $47.83 per share, or 44.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
