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 with Open Questions

SNAP Cover Image

Unprofitable companies can burn through cash quickly, leaving investors exposed if they fail to turn things around. Without a clear path to profitability, these businesses risk running out of capital or relying on dilutive fundraising.

A lack of profits can lead to trouble, but StockStory helps you identify the businesses that stand a chance of making it through. Keeping that in mind, here are three unprofitable companiesto avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Snap (SNAP)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -11.6%

Founded by Stanford University students Evan Spiegel, Reggie Brown, and Bobby Murphy, and originally called Picaboo, Snapchat (NYSE: SNAP) is an image centric social media network.

Why Does SNAP Give Us Pause?

  1. 7.5% annual revenue growth over the last three years was slower than its consumer internet peers
  2. Focus on expanding its platform has led to weaker growth in its average revenue per user
  3. Earnings per share fell by 2.3% annually over the last three years while its revenue grew, partly because it diluted shareholders

Snap is trading at $7.06 per share, or 19x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SNAP doesn’t pass our bar.

Array (ARRY)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -17.2%

Going public in October 2020, Array (NASDAQ: ARRY) is a global manufacturer of ground-mounting tracking systems for utility and distributed generation solar energy projects.

Why Should You Sell ARRY?

  1. Underwhelming unit sales over the past two years show it’s struggled to increase its sales volumes and had to rely on price increases
  2. Poor free cash flow margin of -0.4% for the last five years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends
  3. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

At $8.27 per share, Array trades at 12.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ARRY.

Evolent Health (EVH)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: -1.7%

Founded in 2011 to transform how healthcare is delivered to patients with complex needs, Evolent Health (NYSE: EVH) provides specialty care management services and technology solutions that help health plans and providers deliver better care for patients with complex conditions.

Why Do We Think Twice About EVH?

  1. Estimated sales decline of 3.9% for the next 12 months implies a challenging demand environment
  2. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of -0.2% for the last five years
  3. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction

Evolent Health’s stock price of $8.79 implies a valuation ratio of 20x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EVH in your portfolio.
