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 Profitable Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 We Ignore

CECO Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that balances growth and profitability and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

BrightView (BV)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 4.9%

An official field consultant for Major League Baseball, BrightView (NYSE: BV) offers landscaping design, development, and maintenance.

Why Do We Pass on BV?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.7% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 2.5% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 5.1 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

BrightView’s stock price of $13.72 implies a valuation ratio of 15.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including BV in your portfolio.

GE HealthCare (GEHC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 13.8%

Spun off from industrial giant General Electric in 2023 after over a century as its healthcare division, GE HealthCare (NASDAQ: GEHC) provides medical imaging equipment, patient monitoring systems, diagnostic pharmaceuticals, and AI-enabled healthcare solutions to hospitals and clinics worldwide.

Why Are We Hesitant About GEHC?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Performance over the past four years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 3.7% annually
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 9.6 percentage points

GE HealthCare is trading at $78.42 per share, or 19.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than GEHC.

One Stock to Buy:

CECO Environmental (CECO)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 15%

With roots dating back to 1869 and a focus on creating cleaner industrial operations, CECO Environmental (NASDAQ: CECO) provides technology and expertise that helps industrial companies reduce emissions, treat water, and improve energy efficiency across various sectors.

Why Are We Bullish on CECO?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 18.6% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Projected revenue growth of 23% for the next 12 months is above its two-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
  3. Adjusted operating margin expanded by 11.8 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient

At $45.25 per share, CECO Environmental trades at 35.7x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
