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 Profitable Stocks with Warning Signs

KTB Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

A business making money today isn’t necessarily a winner, which is why we analyze companies across multiple dimensions at StockStory. That said, here are three profitable companies that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

Kontoor Brands (KTB)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 12.7%

Founded in 2019 after separating from VF Corporation, Kontoor Brands (NYSE: KTB) is a clothing company known for its high-quality denim products.

Why Do We Think Twice About KTB?

  1. Flat sales over the last two years suggest it must innovate and find new ways to grow
  2. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  3. Earnings per share lagged its peers over the last five years as they only grew by 9.4% annually

Kontoor Brands’s stock price of $62.85 implies a valuation ratio of 12.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why KTB doesn’t pass our bar.

Oxford Industries (OXM)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 6.8%

The parent company of Tommy Bahama, Oxford Industries (NYSE: OXM) is a lifestyle fashion conglomerate with brands that embody outdoor happiness.

Why Do We Steer Clear of OXM?

  1. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and in-store experience
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $42.71 per share, Oxford Industries trades at 9.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering OXM for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Travel + Leisure (TNL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 19.3%

Formerly known as Wyndham Destinations, Travel + Leisure (NYSE: TNL) is a global vacation company that provides travelers with vacation ownership, exchange, and travel services.

Why Does TNL Worry Us?

  1. Number of tours conducted has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 8× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

Travel + Leisure is trading at $63.18 per share, or 9.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with TNL, check out our full research report (it’s free).
