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 Stock Under $50 with Promising Prospects and 2 We Find Risky

DRS 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. That said, here is one stock under $50 with massive upside potential and two best left ignored.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:

ScanSource (SCSC)

Share Price: $38.57

Operating as a crucial link in the technology supply chain since 1992, ScanSource (NASDAQ: SCSC) is a hybrid distributor that connects hardware, software, and cloud services from technology suppliers to resellers and business customers.

Why Is SCSC Risky?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.5% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Underwhelming 8.2% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

At $38.57 per share, ScanSource trades at 10.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SCSC in your portfolio.

Provident Financial Services (PFS)

Share Price: $18.24

Founded in 1839 and serving communities across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, Provident Financial Services (NYSE: PFS) operates a regional bank providing commercial, residential, and consumer lending alongside wealth management and insurance services.

Why Does PFS Worry Us?

  1. Net interest margin of 3.2% reflects its high servicing and capital costs
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 7.1% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Tangible book value per share stagnated over the last five years and signals the need for new capital management strategies

Provident Financial Services’s stock price of $18.24 implies a valuation ratio of 0.9x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than PFS.

One Stock Under $50 to Watch:

Leonardo DRS (DRS)

Share Price: $42.27

Developing submarine detection systems for the U.S. Navy, Leonardo DRS (NASDAQ: DRS) is a provider of defense systems, electronics, and military support services.

Why Is DRS on Our Radar?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 13.6% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Average backlog growth of 50.1% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
  3. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 19.2% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue

Leonardo DRS is trading at $42.27 per share, or 36.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
