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 Cash-Heavy Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 We Brush Off

CART Cover Image

A surplus of cash can mean financial stability, but it can also indicate a reluctance (or inability) to invest in growth. Some of these companies also face challenges like stagnating revenue, declining market share, or limited scalability.

Not all businesses with cash are winners, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two companies with net cash positions that can continue growing sustainably and one with hidden risks.

One Stock to Sell:

Stellar Bancorp (STEL)

Net Cash Position: $416.6 million (25.9% of Market Cap)

Created through strategic mergers to serve the growing Texas business community, Stellar Bancorp (NYSE: STEL) is a Texas bank holding company that provides commercial banking services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses and professionals.

Why Are We Out on STEL?

  1. Flat sales over the last two years suggest it must find different ways to grow during this cycle
  2. Projected 5.7 percentage point efficiency ratio increase over the next year signals its day-to-day expenses will rise
  3. Tangible book value per share tumbled by 3.7% annually over the last five years, showing banking sector trends are working against its favor during this cycle

Stellar Bancorp is trading at $31.30 per share, or 1x forward P/B. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including STEL in your portfolio.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Instacart (CART)

Net Cash Position: $1.56 billion (12.6% of Market Cap)

Powering more than one billion grocery orders since its founding, Instacart (NASDAQ: CART) is an online grocery shopping and delivery platform that partners with retailers to help customers shop from local stores through its app or website.

Why Should You Buy CART?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 19.5% over the last three years was superb and indicates its market share is rising
  2. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 40.3% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 23.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

Instacart’s stock price of $47.01 implies a valuation ratio of 12.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Moelis (MC)

Net Cash Position: $194.6 million (3.6% of Market Cap)

Founded in 2007 by veteran banker Ken Moelis during the lead-up to the financial crisis, Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC) is an independent investment bank that provides strategic and financial advisory services to corporations, financial sponsors, governments, and sovereign wealth funds.

Why Do We Watch MC?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 31.7% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 86.4% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Industry-leading 45% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

At $73.29 per share, Moelis trades at 28.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
