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 Profitable Stock with Promising Prospects and 2 We Find Risky

LZ Cover Image

Not all profitable companies are built to last - some rely on outdated models or unsustainable advantages. Just because a business is in the green today doesn’t mean it will thrive tomorrow.

Profits are valuable, but they’re not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. Keeping that in mind, here is one profitable company that balances growth and profitability and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Dole (DOLE)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 2.7%

Known for its delicious pineapples and Hawaiian roots, Dole (NYSE: DOLE) is a global agricultural company specializing in fresh fruits and vegetables.

Why Are We Hesitant About DOLE?

  1. Sales were flat over the last three years, indicating it’s failed to expand its business
  2. Easily substituted products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 8.4% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Subpar operating margin of 2.8% constrains its ability to invest in process improvements or effectively respond to new competitive threats

Dole’s stock price of $14.10 implies a valuation ratio of 10.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than DOLE.

Charles River Laboratories (CRL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.1%

Named after the Massachusetts river where it was founded in 1947, Charles River Laboratories (NYSE: CRL) provides non-clinical drug development services, research models, and manufacturing support to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Why Do We Think Twice About CRL?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Projected sales for the next 12 months are flat and suggest demand will be subdued
  3. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value

Charles River Laboratories is trading at $155.80 per share, or 15.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CRL doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

LegalZoom (LZ)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5%

Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ: LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses.

Why Do We Like LZ?

  1. Subscription Units are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
  2. Share repurchases over the last three years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 177% to outpace its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 14.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

At $10.88 per share, LegalZoom trades at 10.8x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
