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.

3 Stocks Under $50 We Keep Off Our Radar

GTES Cover Image

The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $50 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

Gates Industrial Corporation (GTES)

Share Price: $24.34

Helping create one of the most memorable moments for the iconic “Jurassic Park” film, Gates (NYSE: GTES) offers power transmission and fluid transfer equipment for various industries.

Why Is GTES Not Exciting?

  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. Anticipated sales growth of 5.2% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
  3. Underwhelming 6.9% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Gates Industrial Corporation’s stock price of $24.34 implies a valuation ratio of 16x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with GTES, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Sphere Entertainment (SPHR)

Share Price: $40.71

Famous for its viral Las Vegas Sphere venue, Sphere Entertainment (NYSE: SPHR) hosts live entertainment events and distributes content across various media platforms.

Why Do We Steer Clear of SPHR?

  1. Lackluster 2.4% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 7.1% annually
  3. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments

At $40.71 per share, Sphere Entertainment trades at 8.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SPHR in your portfolio.

Peoples Bancorp (PEBO)

Share Price: $28.16

Founded in 1902 in Ohio and expanding through both organic growth and acquisitions, Peoples Bancorp (NASDAQ: PEBO) is a financial holding company that provides banking, insurance, equipment leasing, and investment services to consumers and businesses.

Why Are We Hesitant About PEBO?

  1. Estimated net interest income growth of 1.8% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its five-year trend
  2. Earnings per share fell by 12% annually over the last two years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 1.4% over the last five years was below our standards for the bank sector

Peoples Bancorp is trading at $28.16 per share, or 0.8x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than PEBO.
