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.

1 Growth Stock to Add to Your Roster and 2 We Avoid

NVDA Cover Image

Growth boosts valuation multiples, but it doesn’t always last forever. Companies that cannot maintain it are often penalized with large declines in market value, a lesson ingrained in investors who lost money in tech stocks during 2022.

The risks that can come from buying these assets is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here is one growth stock where the best is yet to come and two climbing an uphill battle.

Two Growth Stocks to Sell:

FOX (FOXA)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +16.6%

Founded in 1915, Fox (NASDAQ: FOXA) is a diversified media company, operating prominent cable news, television broadcasting, and digital media platforms.

Why Do We Pass on FOXA?

  1. Scale is a double-edged sword because it limits the company’s growth potential compared to its smaller competitors, as reflected in its below-average annual revenue increases of 4.5% for the last two years
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 2.6% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates
  3. Projected 4.5 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company’s plans to increase its investments to defend its market position

FOX is trading at $59.12 per share, or 13.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than FOXA.

Somnigroup (SGI)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +23.1%

Established through the merger of Tempur-Pedic and Sealy in 2012, Somnigroup (NYSE: SGI) is a bedding manufacturer known for its innovative memory foam mattresses and sleep products

Why Do We Think Twice About SGI?

  1. Lackluster 10.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Poor free cash flow margin of 9.6% for the last two years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Somnigroup’s stock price of $80.50 implies a valuation ratio of 29.2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SGI doesn’t pass our bar.

One Growth Stock to Buy:

Nvidia (NVDA)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +86.2%

Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and two former Sun Microsystems engineers, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a leading fabless designer of chips used in gaming, PCs, data centers, automotive, and a variety of end markets.

Why Are We Backing NVDA?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 140% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 48.8% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety

At $181.27 per share, Nvidia trades at 38.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
