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.

2 Software Stocks to Target This Week and 1 to Avoid

MNDY Cover Image

From commerce to culture, software is digitizing every aspect of our lives. Companies bringing it to life have been rewarded with high valuation multiples that make fundraising easier, but they have capped returns lately as the industry was flat over the past six months and trailed the S&P 500’s 6.2% gain.

However, some businesses can support their premium valuations with superior earnings growth, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here are two resilient software stocks at the top of our wish list and one that may face trouble.

One SoftwareStock to Sell:

Alarm.com (ALRM)

Market Cap: $2.87 billion

Founded in 2000 as a business unit within MicroStrategy, Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM) is a software-as-a-service platform that enables users to control their security systems and smart home appliances from a single app.

Why Does ALRM Give Us Pause?

  1. Products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy may need some adjustments as its 6.6% average billings growth over the last year was weak
  2. Estimated sales growth of 4.2% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. High servicing costs result in a relatively inferior gross margin of 65.7% that must be offset through increased usage

At $57.69 per share, Alarm.com trades at 3.5x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with ALRM, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Software Stocks to Watch:

Monday.com (MNDY)

Market Cap: $15.81 billion

Founded in 2014 and named after the dreaded first day of the work week, Monday.com (NASDAQ: MNDY) is a software-as-a-service platform that helps organizations plan and track work efficiently.

Why Will MNDY Outperform?

  1. ARR trends over the last year show it’s maintaining a steady flow of long-term contracts that contribute positively to its revenue predictability
  2. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a best-in-class gross margin of 89.5%
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Monday.com is trading at $307.40 per share, or 12.6x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Integral Ad Science (IAS)

Market Cap: $1.41 billion

Founded in 2009, Integral Ad Science (NASDAQ: IAS) provides digital advertising verification and optimization solutions, ensuring that ads are viewable by real people in brand-safe environments across various platforms and devices.

Why Are We Positive On IAS?

  1. Fast payback periods on sales and marketing expenses allow the company to invest heavily and onboard many customers concurrently
  2. Operating profits increased over the last year as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 22.1% gives it many options for capital deployment

Integral Ad Science’s stock price of $8.53 implies a valuation ratio of 2.3x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
