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 Profitable Stock on Our Buy List and 2 Facing Headwinds

CELH Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that balances growth and profitability and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Zurn Elkay (ZWS)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16.1%

Claiming to have saved more than 30 billion gallons of water, Zurn Elkay (NYSE: ZWS) provides water management solutions to various industries.

Why Do We Pass on ZWS?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Performance over the past five years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share dropped by 6.1% annually, worse than its revenue
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 5.5 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Zurn Elkay’s stock price of $45.99 implies a valuation ratio of 32.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ZWS doesn’t pass our bar.

Interpublic Group (IPG)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.2%

With a history dating back to 1902 and roots in the McCann-Erickson agency, Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) is a marketing and communications holding company that owns agencies specializing in advertising, media buying, public relations, and digital marketing services.

Why Is IPG Risky?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Demand will likely be weak over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. 17.1 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

Interpublic Group is trading at $27.15 per share, or 9.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering IPG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Celsius (CELH)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 14.7%

With its proprietary MetaPlus formula as the basis for key products, Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) offers energy drinks that feature natural ingredients to help in fitness and weight management.

Why Should You Buy CELH?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 50.7% over the last three years was superb and indicates its market share is rising
  2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last three years as its EPS has compounded at 82.2% annually
  3. Industry-leading 34.2% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its rising returns show it’s making even more lucrative bets

At $59.53 per share, Celsius trades at 60.3x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
