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 Mid-Cap Stock Worth Investigating and 2 We Brush Off

MKC Cover Image

Mid-cap stocks have the best odds of scaling into $100 billion corporations thanks to their tested business models and large addressable markets. But the many opportunities in front of them attract significant competition, spanning from industry behemoths with seemingly infinite resources to small, nimble players with chips on their shoulders.

These dynamics can rattle even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here is one mid-cap stock with huge upside potential and two that could be down big.

Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Sell:

McCormick (MKC)

Market Cap: $19.39 billion

The classic red Heinz ketchup bottle’s competitor, McCormick (NYSE: MKC) sells food-flavoring products like condiments, spices, and seasoning mixes.

Why Is MKC Not Exciting?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last three years as its EPS grew by just 2% annually
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last year as its free cash flow margin decreased by 4.8 percentage points

McCormick is trading at $72.26 per share, or 22.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with MKC, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Woodward (WWD)

Market Cap: $14.87 billion

Initially designing controls for water wheels in the early 1900s, Woodward (NASDAQ: WWD) designs, services, and manufactures energy control products and optimization solutions.

Why Does WWD Give Us Pause?

  1. 4.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Earnings growth over the last five years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 7.1% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 11.2 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

At $248.48 per share, Woodward trades at 34.2x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than WWD.

One Mid-Cap Stock to Watch:

Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH)

Market Cap: $13.55 billion

With roots dating back to 1914 and deep ties to nearly all U.S. cabinet-level departments, Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) provides management consulting, technology services, and cybersecurity solutions primarily to U.S. government agencies and military branches.

Why Does BAH Stand Out?

  1. Existing business lines can expand without risky acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 10.7% over the past two years
  2. Economies of scale give it some operating leverage when demand rises
  3. Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue

Booz Allen Hamilton’s stock price of $109.79 implies a valuation ratio of 16.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
