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.

2 Profitable Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 That Underwhelm

LNW Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

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 are two profitable companies that balance growth and profitability and one that may face some trouble.

One Stock to Sell:

Universal Technical Institute (UTI)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.4%

Founded in 1965, Universal Technical Institute (NYSE: UTI) is a leading provider of technical training programs, specializing in automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle, and marine technicians.

Why Should You Dump UTI?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 9.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam
  3. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned

At $26.38 per share, Universal Technical Institute trades at 11.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including UTI in your portfolio.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Light & Wonder (LNW)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 21.9%

With names as crazy as Ultimate Fire Link Power 4 for its products, Light & Wonder (NASDAQ: LNW) is a gaming company supplying the casino industry with slot machines, table games, and digital games.

Why Do We Like LNW?

  1. Excellent operating margin of 21.4% highlights the efficiency of its business model
  2. Share repurchases over the last five years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 25.9% to outpace its revenue gains
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

Light & Wonder’s stock price of $89.75 implies a valuation ratio of 13.4x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Centene (CNC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 1.1%

Serving nearly 1 in 15 Americans through its government healthcare programs, Centene (NYSE: CNC) is a healthcare company that manages government-sponsored health insurance programs like Medicaid and Medicare for low-income and complex-needs populations.

Why Does CNC Stand Out?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 14.2% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Enormous revenue base of $178.2 billion gives it leverage over plan holders and advantageous reimbursement terms with healthcare providers
  3. Returns on capital are increasing as management’s prior bets are starting to bear fruit

Centene is trading at $29.48 per share, or 7.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions
