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 Low-Volatility Stocks That Concern Us

DOLE Cover Image

Stability is great, but low-volatility stocks may struggle to deliver market-beating returns over time as they sometimes underperform during bull markets.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. That said, here are three low-volatility stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Dole (DOLE)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.47

Known for its delicious pineapples and Hawaiian roots, Dole (NYSE: DOLE) is a global agricultural company specializing in fresh fruits and vegetables.

Why Are We Wary of DOLE?

  1. Products fail to spark excitement with consumers, as seen in its flat sales over the last three years
  2. Gross margin of 8.4% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and production facilities
  3. Responsiveness to unforeseen market trends is restricted due to its substandard operating margin profitability

Dole is trading at $14.69 per share, or 10.6x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with DOLE, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Wynn Resorts (WYNN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.92

Founded by the former Mirage Resorts CEO, Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) is a global developer and operator of high-end hotels and casinos, known for its luxurious properties and premium guest services.

Why Are We Cautious About WYNN?

  1. Muted 9.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Underwhelming 4% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens

At $126.71 per share, Wynn Resorts trades at 27.2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why WYNN doesn’t pass our bar.

Pediatrix Medical Group (MD)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.68

With a network of approximately 2,620 affiliated physicians caring for some of the most vulnerable patients, Pediatrix Medical Group (NYSE: MD) provides specialized physician services focused on neonatal, maternal-fetal, pediatric cardiology and other pediatric subspecialty care across 37 states.

Why Do We Think MD Will Underperform?

  1. Poor comparable store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new patients into its facilities
  2. Projected sales decline of 1.5% over the next 12 months indicates demand will continue deteriorating
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

Pediatrix Medical Group’s stock price of $17.21 implies a valuation ratio of 10.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including MD in your portfolio.
