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 Momentum Stock to Own for Decades and 2 We Avoid

OLO Cover Image

The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock we think lives up to the hype and two best left ignored.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Olo (OLO)

One-Month Return: +17.8%

Founded by Noah Glass, who wanted to get a cup of coffee faster on his way to work, Olo (NYSE: OLO) provides restaurants and food retailers with software to manage food orders and delivery.

Why Is OLO Not Exciting?

  1. Bad unit economics and steep infrastructure costs are reflected in its gross margin of 54.7%, one of the worst among software companies
  2. Operating losses show it sacrificed profitability while scaling the business
  3. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 7.4% for the last year

At $10.46 per share, Olo trades at 5.3x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with OLO, check out our full research report (it’s free).

RTX (RTX)

One-Month Return: +8.6%

Originally focused on refrigeration technology, Raytheon (NSYE:RTX) provides a a variety of products and services to the aerospace and defense industries.

Why Do We Think Twice About RTX?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 4.7% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last five years as its EPS grew by just 4.8% annually
  3. ROIC of 3.7% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

RTX is trading at $156.65 per share, or 25.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering RTX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

EMCOR (EME)

One-Month Return: +18.3%

Through its network of over 70 subsidiaries, EMCOR (NYSE: EME) provides electrical, mechanical, and building construction and services

Why Will EME Beat the Market?

  1. Impressive 15.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 54.8% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years
  3. Improving returns on capital reflect management’s ability to monetize investments

EMCOR’s stock price of $628 implies a valuation ratio of 26x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
