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 Consumer Stocks with Warning Signs

RSI Cover Image

The performance of consumer discretionary businesses is closely linked to economic cycles. Unfortunately, the industry’s recent performance suggests demand may be fading as discretionary stocks have pulled back by 1.9% over the past six months. This performance was disappointing since the S&P 500 climbed 5.8%.

While some companies have durable competitive advantages that enable them to grow consistently, the odds aren’t great for the ones we’re analyzing today. Taking that into account, here are three consumer stocks we’re passing on.

Rush Street Interactive (RSI)

Market Cap: $1.83 billion

Specializing in online casino gaming and sports betting, Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) is an operator of digital gaming platforms.

Why Are We Wary of RSI?

  1. Responsiveness to unforeseen market trends is restricted due to its substandard operating margin profitability

At $19.44 per share, Rush Street Interactive trades at 50.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering RSI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Carriage Services (CSV)

Market Cap: $752.6 million

Established in 1991, Carriage Services (NYSE: CSV) is a provider of funeral and cemetery services in the United States.

Why Does CSV Fall Short?

  1. Muted 4.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

Carriage Services’s stock price of $47.94 implies a valuation ratio of 11.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including CSV in your portfolio.

Guess (GES)

Market Cap: $707.9 million

Flexing the iconic upside-down triangle logo with a question mark, Guess (NYSE: GES) is a global fashion brand known for its trendy clothing, accessories, and denim wear.

Why Is GES Risky?

  1. Muted 4.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Guess is trading at $13.61 per share, or 8.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why GES doesn’t pass our bar.
