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 Value Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 We Ignore

THS Cover Image

Value investing has created more billionaires than any other strategy, like Warren Buffett, who built his fortune by purchasing wonderful businesses at reasonable prices. But these hidden gems are few and far between - many stocks that appear cheap often stay that way because they face structural issues.

Separating the winners from the value traps is a tough challenge, and that’s where StockStory comes in. Our job is to find you high-quality companies that will stand the test of time. That said, here is one value stock offering a compelling risk-reward profile and two climbing an uphill battle.

Two Value Stocks to Sell:

TreeHouse Foods (THS)

Forward P/E Ratio: 9.1x

Whether it be packaged crackers, broths, or beverages, Treehouse Foods (NYSE: THS) produces a wide range of private-label foods for grocery and food service customers.

Why Do We Steer Clear of THS?

  1. Shrinking unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its product strategy
  2. Commoditized products, bad unit economics, and high competition are reflected in its low gross margin of 16.5%
  3. Underwhelming 1.5% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

TreeHouse Foods’s stock price of $18.13 implies a valuation ratio of 9.1x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including THS in your portfolio.

Amentum (AMTM)

Forward P/E Ratio: 11.1x

With operations spanning approximately 80 countries and a workforce of specialized engineers and technical experts, Amentum Holdings (NYSE: AMTM) provides advanced engineering and technology solutions to U.S. government agencies, allied governments, and commercial enterprises across defense, energy, and space sectors.

Why Does AMTM Give Us Pause?

  1. Annual sales growth of 3.8% over the last two years lagged behind its business services peers as its large revenue base made it difficult to generate incremental demand
  2. Demand is forecasted to shrink as its estimated sales for the next 12 months are flat
  3. Poor free cash flow margin of 1.9% for the last four years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends

Amentum is trading at $25.11 per share, or 11.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why AMTM doesn’t pass our bar.

One Value Stock to Watch:

Fidelis Insurance (FIHL)

Forward P/B Ratio: 0.7x

Founded in Bermuda in 2014 and designed to adapt nimbly to evolving market conditions, Fidelis Insurance (NYSE: FIHL) is a global specialty insurer and reinsurer that provides customized coverage across property, specialty, and bespoke risk solutions.

Why Do We Like FIHL?

  1. Net premiums earned surged by 20.6% annually over the past two years, reflecting strong market share gains this cycle
  2. Forecasted revenue growth of 10.4% for the next 12 months indicates its momentum over the last two years is sustainable
  3. Capital generation for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust book value per share growth of 20.7%

At $17.29 per share, Fidelis Insurance trades at 0.7x forward P/B. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
