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 Safe-and-Steady Stock to Research Further and 2 We Turn Down

BBCP Cover Image

A stock with low volatility can be reassuring, but it doesn’t always mean strong long-term performance. Investors who prioritize stability may miss out on higher-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. That said, here is one low-volatility stock that could offer consistent gains and two that may not deliver the returns you need.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Concrete Pumping (BBCP)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.81

Going public via SPAC in 2018, Concrete Pumping (NASDAQ: BBCP) is a provider of concrete pumping and waste management services in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Why Should You Sell BBCP?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  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. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 7.8 percentage points

At $7.11 per share, Concrete Pumping trades at 39.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with BBCP, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Tri Pointe Homes (TPH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.66

Established in 2009 in California, Tri Pointe Homes (NYSE: TPH) is a United States homebuilder recognized for its innovative and sustainable approach to creating premium, life-enhancing homes.

Why Are We Out on TPH?

  1. Demand cratered as it couldn’t win new orders over the past two years, leading to an average 7.6% decline in its backlog
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 18.5% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last two years, showing each sale was less profitable

Tri Pointe Homes’s stock price of $35.08 implies a valuation ratio of 12.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering TPH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.68

Founded in 1989 with a mission to create medicines that treat the underlying causes of disease rather than just symptoms, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) develops and markets transformative medicines for serious diseases, with a focus on cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and pain management.

Why Does VRTX Stand Out?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 16.1% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share grew by 15.9% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers
  3. ROIC punches in at 41.8%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

Vertex Pharmaceuticals is trading at $389.01 per share, or 19.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
