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 Cash-Producing Stock to Target This Week and 2 Facing Challenges

SKIN Cover Image

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. That said, here is one cash-producing company that leverages its financial strength to beat its competitors and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

BeautyHealth (SKIN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 10.9%

Operating in the emerging beauty health category, the appropriately named BeautyHealth (NASDAQ: SKIN) is a skincare company best known for its Hydrafacial product that cleanses and hydrates skin.

Why Do We Avoid SKIN?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 1.6% over the last three years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Revenue base of $310.1 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  3. Poor expense management has led to operating margin losses

At $2.30 per share, BeautyHealth trades at 15.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering SKIN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

RE/MAX (RMAX)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.4%

Short for Real Estate Maximums, RE/MAX (NYSE: RMAX) operates a real estate franchise network spanning over 100 countries and territories.

Why Do We Steer Clear of RMAX?

  1. Number of agents has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 6.7% annually
  3. Underwhelming 0.2% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

RE/MAX’s stock price of $9.50 implies a valuation ratio of 7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why RMAX doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

Amgen (AMGN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 30.4%

Founded in 1980 during the early days of the biotechnology revolution, Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) is a biotechnology company that discovers, develops, and manufactures innovative medicines to treat serious illnesses like cancer, osteoporosis, and autoimmune diseases.

Why Do We Like AMGN?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 14.6% over the last two years beat the sector average and underscores the unique value of its offerings
  2. Economies of scale give it some operating leverage when demand rises
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 29.8% gives it many options for capital deployment

Amgen is trading at $278.53 per share, or 13.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
