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 Unprofitable Stocks We Think Twice About

ASAN Cover Image

Unprofitable companies face headwinds as they struggle to keep operating expenses under control. Some may be investing heavily, but the majority fail to convert spending into sustainable growth.

Unprofitable companies face an uphill battle, but not all are created equal. Luckily for you, StockStory is here to separate the promising ones from the weak. That said, here are three unprofitable companiesto avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Asana (ASAN)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -33.1%

Born from the founders' frustration with the inefficiencies of email-based collaboration at Facebook, Asana (NYSE: ASAN) provides a work management platform that helps organizations track projects, set goals, and manage workflows in a centralized digital workspace.

Why Does ASAN Worry Us?

  1. Average billings growth of 4.3% over the last year was subpar, suggesting it struggled to push its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate demand
  2. Customers have churned over the last year due to the commoditized nature of its software, as reflected in its 96.3% net revenue retention rate
  3. Drawn-out sales process reflects its software’s integration hurdles with enterprise clients, restraining customer growth potential

Asana’s stock price of $13.70 implies a valuation ratio of 4x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ASAN.

Soho House (SHCO)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -2.3%

Boasting fancy locations in hubs such as NYC and Miami, Soho House (NYSE: SHCO) is a global hospitality brand offering exclusive private member clubs, hotels, and restaurants.

Why Do We Pass on SHCO?

  1. Performance surrounding its members has lagged its peers
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 16× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

Soho House is trading at $8.79 per share, or 9.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SHCO doesn’t pass our bar.

Moderna (MRNA)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -106%

Rising to global prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic with one of the first effective vaccines, Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) develops messenger RNA (mRNA) medicines that direct the body's cells to produce proteins with therapeutic or preventive benefits for various diseases.

Why Do We Steer Clear of MRNA?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 46.3% annually over the last two years
  2. 242.8 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

At $26.90 per share, Moderna trades at 5.5x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with MRNA, check out our full research report (it’s free).
