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.

2 Stocks Under $50 to Target This Week and 1 We Avoid

YELP Cover Image

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks under $50 with massive upside potential and one that could be down big.

One Stock Under $50 to Sell:

Simmons First National (SFNC)

Share Price: $19.38

With roots dating back to 1903 and a presence across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, Simmons First National (NASDAQ: SFNC) is a regional bank holding company that provides banking and financial services to individuals and businesses.

Why Are We Out on SFNC?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 4.9% annually over the last two years
  2. Net interest income stagnated over the last five years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  3. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable

At $19.38 per share, Simmons First National trades at 0.7x forward P/B. To fully understand why you should be careful with SFNC, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks Under $50 to Watch:

Yelp (YELP)

Share Price: $33.04

Founded by PayPal alumni Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, Yelp (NYSE: YELP) is an online platform that helps people discover local businesses through crowd-sourced reviews.

Why Do We Like YELP?

  1. Platform is difficult to replicate at scale and leads to a best-in-class gross margin of 91.2%
  2. Excellent EBITDA margin of 25.7% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its operating leverage amplified its profits over the last few years
  3. YELP is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

Yelp is trading at $33.04 per share, or 6.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Vital Farms (VITL)

Share Price: $35.97

With an emphasis on ethically produced products, Vital Farms (NASDAQ: VITL) specializes in pasture-raised eggs and butter.

Why Do We Love VITL?

  1. Unit sales were phenomenal over the past two years, showing demand is robust and retailers can’t stock enough of its products
  2. Market share will likely rise over the next 12 months as its expected revenue growth of 26.5% is robust
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last three years, increasing by 161% annually

Vital Farms’s stock price of $35.97 implies a valuation ratio of 25.7x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
