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 Low-Volatility Stocks We Steer Clear Of

REGN Cover Image

A stock with low volatility can be reassuring, but it doesn’t always mean strong long-term performance. Investors who prioritize stability may miss out on higher-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. Keeping that in mind, here are three low-volatility stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Regeneron (REGN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.69

Founded by scientists who wanted to build a company where science could thrive, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) develops and commercializes medicines for serious diseases, with key products treating eye conditions, allergic diseases, cancer, and other disorders.

Why Are We Wary of REGN?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 6.7% annual revenue increases over the last two years fell short of other healthcare companies
  2. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 12.3 percentage points
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $570.81 per share, Regeneron trades at 14.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why REGN doesn’t pass our bar.

PacBio (PACB)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.40

Pioneering what scientists call "HiFi long-read sequencing," recognized as Nature Methods' method of the year for 2022, Pacific Biosciences (NASDAQ: PACB) develops advanced DNA sequencing systems that enable scientists and researchers to analyze genomes with unprecedented accuracy and completeness.

Why Do We Think PACB Will Underperform?

  1. 6.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its healthcare peers
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 29.9 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

PacBio is trading at $1.65 per share, or 3.1x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including PACB in your portfolio.

Bank of Hawaii (BOH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.64

Founded in 1897 as a financial anchor for the newly annexed Hawaiian territory, Bank of Hawaii (NYSE: BOH) is a financial institution providing banking, investment, and insurance services primarily to customers in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific Islands.

Why Are We Cautious About BOH?

  1. Net interest income was flat over the last four years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
  2. Inferior net interest margin of 2.2% means it must compensate for lower profitability through increased loan originations
  3. Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 5.6% annually while its revenue was flat

Bank of Hawaii’s stock price of $67.43 implies a valuation ratio of 1.8x forward P/B. If you’re considering BOH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
