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 Volatile Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 We Question

CHWY Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two that might not be worth the risk.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Chewy (CHWY)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.26

Founded by Ryan Cohen, who later became known for his involvement in GameStop, Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) is an online retailer specializing in pet food, supplies, and healthcare services.

Why Does CHWY Fall Short?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 9.3% annual revenue increases over the last three years fell short of other consumer internet companies
  2. Estimated sales growth of 5.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Gross margin of 29% reflects its high servicing costs

At $39.97 per share, Chewy trades at 22.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CHWY doesn’t pass our bar.

Nordson (NDSN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.25

Founded in 1954, Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN) manufactures dispensing equipment and industrial adhesives, sealants and coatings.

Why Do We Think Twice About NDSN?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last two years as its EPS grew by just 1.2% annually
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Nordson is trading at $227 per share, or 21x forward P/E. If you’re considering NDSN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Primoris (PRIM)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.94

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 per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 28.6% annually

Primoris’s stock price of $115.05 implies a valuation ratio of 24.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
