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 High-Flying Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 We Avoid

HSY Cover Image

Expensive stocks often command premium valuations because the market thinks their business models are exceptional. However, the downside is that high expectations are already baked into their prices, leaving little room for error if they stumble even slightly.

Determining whether a company’s quality justifies its price causes headaches for nearly all investors, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the real opportunities from the speculative ones. That said, here are two high-flying stocks expanding their competitive advantages and one with big downside risk.

One High-Flying Stock to Sell:

Hershey (HSY)

Forward P/E Ratio: 34.2x

Best known for its milk chocolate bar and Hershey's Kisses, Hershey (NYSE: HSY) is an iconic company known for its chocolate products.

Why Is HSY Not Exciting?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
  2. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last year, causing its operating margin to decline by 4.4 percentage points
  3. Flat earnings per share over the last three years underperformed the sector average

Hershey is trading at $194 per share, or 34.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including HSY in your portfolio.

Two High-Flying Stocks to Watch:

American Superconductor (AMSC)

Forward P/E Ratio: 99.1x

Founded in 1987, American Superconductor (NASDAQ: AMSC) has shifted from superconductor research to developing power systems, adapting to changing energy grid needs and naval technology requirements.

Why Is AMSC a Good Business?

  1. Impressive 49.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Free cash flow margin is now positive, indicating the company has passed a significant test
  3. Returns on capital are increasing as management’s prior bets are starting to bear fruit

American Superconductor’s stock price of $56.99 implies a valuation ratio of 99.1x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

UL Solutions (ULS)

Forward P/E Ratio: 36.1x

Founded in 1894 as a response to the growing dangers of electricity in American homes and businesses, UL Solutions (NYSE: ULS) provides testing, inspection, and certification services that help companies ensure their products meet safety, security, and sustainability standards.

Why Does ULS Catch Our Eye?

  1. 7.2% annual revenue growth over the last two years surpassed the sector average as its services resonated with customers
  2. Free cash flow margin grew by 4.8 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
  3. ROIC punches in at 27.1%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

At $66.63 per share, UL Solutions trades at 36.1x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
