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 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stock to Target This Week and 2 We Find Risky

BALY 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.

Unlike the investment banks, we created StockStory to provide independent analysis that helps you determine which companies are truly worth following. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Bally's (BALY)

Consensus Price Target: $12.50 (34.7% implied return)

Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) is a diversified global casino-entertainment company that owns and manages casinos, resorts, and online gaming platforms.

Why Should You Sell BALY?

  1. Muted 2.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
  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. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

At $9.28 per share, Bally's trades at 1.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BALY doesn’t pass our bar.

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (AMPH)

Consensus Price Target: $32.20 (53.7% implied return)

Founded in 1996 and known for its expertise in complex drug formulations, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMPH) develops and manufactures technically challenging injectable and inhalation medications, including both generic and proprietary pharmaceutical products.

Why Are We Cautious About AMPH?

  1. Revenue base of $730.7 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals is trading at $20.95 per share, or 6.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with AMPH, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Buy:

Inspire Medical Systems (INSP)

Consensus Price Target: $210.73 (69.2% implied return)

Offering an alternative for the millions who struggle with traditional CPAP machines, Inspire Medical Systems (NYSE: INSP) develops and sells an implantable neurostimulation device that treats obstructive sleep apnea by stimulating nerves to keep airways open during sleep.

Why Should You Buy INSP?

  1. Measured rollout of new domestic medical centers communicates a gradual expansion strategy
  2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 26.7% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 48.2 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

Inspire Medical Systems’s stock price of $124.54 implies a valuation ratio of 45.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
