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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks That Concern Us

CLOV Cover Image

Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. That said, here are three stocks where Wall Street’s estimates seem disconnected from reality and some better opportunities to consider.

Clover Health (CLOV)

Consensus Price Target: $4.69 (58.4% implied return)

Founded in 2014 to improve healthcare for America's seniors through technology, Clover Health (NASDAQ: CLOV) provides Medicare Advantage plans for seniors with a focus on affordable care and uses its proprietary Clover Assistant software to help physicians manage patient care.

Why Are We Cautious About CLOV?

  1. Sales tumbled by 28.7% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Customer additions have disappointed over the past two years, indicating the company’s value proposition may not be resonating
  3. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments

At $2.96 per share, Clover Health trades at 39.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering CLOV for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Evolent Health (EVH)

Consensus Price Target: $15.31 (54.6% implied return)

Founded in 2011 to transform how healthcare is delivered to patients with complex needs, Evolent Health (NYSE: EVH) provides specialty care management services and technology solutions that help health plans and providers deliver better care for patients with complex conditions.

Why Do We Think Twice About EVH?

  1. Projected sales decline of 10.1% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  2. Poor free cash flow margin of 0.6% for the last five years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends
  3. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business

Evolent Health is trading at $9.90 per share, or 17.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why EVH doesn’t pass our bar.

Berkshire Hills Bancorp (BHLB)

Consensus Price Target: $31.66 (26.4% implied return)

Founded in 1846 as a community financial institution in Massachusetts, Berkshire Hills Bancorp (NYSE: BHLB) is a regional bank holding company that provides commercial banking, retail banking, wealth management, and lending services through branches across the Northeast.

Why Are We Hesitant About BHLB?

  1. Sales stagnated over the last two years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  2. Net interest income trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 2.3% annual growth was below the typical bank company
  3. Tangible book value per share is projected to decrease by 13.3% over the next 12 months as capital generation weakens

Berkshire Hills Bancorp’s stock price of $25.04 implies a valuation ratio of 0.9x forward P/B. If you’re considering BHLB for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
