About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

1 Volatile Stock Worth Investigating and 2 to Avoid

REAL Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two best left to the gamblers.

Two Stocks to Sell:

The RealReal (REAL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.77

Founded by consignment store aficionado Julie Wainwright, The RealReal (NASDAQ: REAL) is an online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand luxury goods.

Why Are We Wary of REAL?

  1. Decision to emphasize platform growth over monetization has contributed to 5.5% annual declines in its average revenue per user
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $5.34 per share, The RealReal trades at 21.3x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why REAL doesn’t pass our bar.

Parker-Hannifin (PH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.32

Founded in 1917, Parker Hannifin (NYSE: PH) is a manufacturer of motion and control systems for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

Why Do We Think Twice About PH?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Estimated sales growth of 1.9% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 2.5 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Parker-Hannifin is trading at $719.15 per share, or 25.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with PH, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

OSI Systems (OSIS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.51

With security scanners deployed at airports and borders worldwide and patient monitors used in hospitals across the globe, OSI Systems (NASDAQ: OSIS) designs and manufactures specialized electronic systems for security screening, patient monitoring, and optoelectronic applications.

Why Does OSIS Stand Out?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 18.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Earnings per share grew by 27.4% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers
  3. Returns on capital are increasing as management’s prior bets are starting to bear fruit

OSI Systems’s stock price of $232.51 implies a valuation ratio of 23.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
