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 Small-Cap Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Brush Off

WTS Cover Image

Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two small-cap stocks that could be the next big thing and one that could be down big.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Progyny (PGNY)

Market Cap: $2.04 billion

Pioneering a data-driven approach to family building that has achieved an industry-leading patient satisfaction score of +80, Progyny (NASDAQ: PGNY) provides comprehensive fertility and family building benefits solutions to employers, helping employees access quality fertility treatments and support services.

Why Does PGNY Give Us Pause?

  1. Revenue base of $1.24 billion puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  2. Estimated sales growth of 4.8% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Underwhelming 0.6% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Progyny is trading at $23.21 per share, or 14.1x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with PGNY, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Watts Water Technologies (WTS)

Market Cap: $9.24 billion

Founded in 1874, Watts Water (NYSE: WTS) specializes in manufacturing water products and systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications globally.

Why Are We Fans of WTS?

  1. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and result in a best-in-class gross margin of 45.5%
  2. Operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  3. Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue

At $277 per share, Watts Water Technologies trades at 28.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Primerica (PRI)

Market Cap: $8.72 billion

With a sales force of over 140,000 licensed representatives operating on an independent contractor model, Primerica (NYSE: PRI) provides term life insurance, investment products, and other financial services to middle-income households in the United States and Canada.

Why Do We Watch PRI?

  1. Pre-tax profits and efficiency rose over the last four years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  2. Share buybacks propelled its annual earnings per share growth to 18.8%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years
  3. Industry-leading 26.7% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

Primerica’s stock price of $269.34 implies a valuation ratio of 3.7x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
