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 Small-Cap Stocks with Promising Prospects and 1 We Turn Down

ATUS Cover Image

Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are two small-cap stocks that could be the next 100 baggers and one that may have trouble.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Altice (ATUS)

Market Cap: $1.06 billion

Based in Long Island City, Altice USA (NYSE: ATUS) is a telecommunications company offering cable, internet, telephone, and television services across the United States.

Why Should You Dump ATUS?

  1. Sluggish trends in its broadband subscribers suggest customers aren’t adopting its solutions as quickly as the company hoped
  2. Sales were less profitable over the last five years as its earnings per share fell by 31.1% annually, worse than its revenue declines
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Altice is trading at $2.30 per share, or 0.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ATUS doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Primoris (PRIM)

Market Cap: $6.03 billion

Listed on the NASDAQ in 2008, Primoris (NYSE: PRIM) builds, maintains, and upgrades infrastructure in the utility, energy, and civil construction industries.

Why Are We Positive On PRIM?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 15.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Backlog has averaged 159% growth over the past two years, showing it has a pipeline of unfulfilled orders that will support revenue in the future
  3. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 28.6% annually

At $111.70 per share, Primoris trades at 24.2x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

ESCO (ESE)

Market Cap: $4.92 billion

A developer of the communication systems used in the Batmobile of “The Dark Knight,” ESCO (NYSE: ESE) is a provider of engineered components for the aerospace, defense, and utility sectors.

Why Do We Love ESE?

  1. Market share is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 23.1% projected revenue growth implies demand will accelerate from its two-year trend
  2. Superior product capabilities and pricing power lead to a stellar gross margin of 39.1%
  3. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 22.4% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance

ESCO’s stock price of $190.55 implies a valuation ratio of 28.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
