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 Small-Cap Stocks That Concern Us

ARHS Cover Image

Many small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on. But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three small-cap stocks to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.

Arhaus (ARHS)

Market Cap: $1.57 billion

With an aesthetic that features natural materials such as reclaimed wood, Arhaus (NASDAQ: ARHS) is a high-end furniture retailer that sells everything from sofas to rugs to bookcases.

Why Are We Wary of ARHS?

  1. Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new shoppers into its brick-and-mortar locations
  2. Subscale operations are evident in its revenue base of $1.34 billion, meaning it has fewer distribution channels than its larger rivals
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 10.2% annually over the past three years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

Arhaus’s stock price of $11.16 implies a valuation ratio of 25.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering ARHS for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Global Business Travel (GBTG)

Market Cap: $3.58 billion

Holding close ties to American Express, Global Business Travel (NYSE: GBTG) is a comprehensive travel and expense management services provider to corporations worldwide.

Why Does GBTG Give Us Pause?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 3.7% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  2. High servicing costs result in a relatively inferior gross margin of 61.1% that must be offset through increased usage
  3. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 5.9% for the last year

Global Business Travel is trading at $7.47 per share, or 1.4x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why GBTG doesn’t pass our bar.

Clover Health (CLOV)

Market Cap: $1.27 billion

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 Is CLOV Not Exciting?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 18.1% annually over the last two years
  2. Modest revenue base of $1.61 billion gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  3. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth

At $2.48 per share, Clover Health trades at 17.6x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CLOV, check out our full research report (it’s free).
