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 Solid Fundamentals and 2 We Avoid

DT 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.

Profits are valuable, but they’re not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. Keeping that in mind, here is one profitable company that balances growth and profitability and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Petco (WOOF)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 1.3%

Historically known for its window displays of pets for sale or adoption, Petco (NASDAQ: WOOF) is a specialty retailer of pet food and supplies as well as a provider of services such as wellness checks and grooming.

Why Do We Think WOOF Will Underperform?

  1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 33.8% annually over the last four years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. 7× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings

Petco is trading at $3.52 per share, or 18.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than WOOF.

Root (ROOT)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 8.8%

Pioneering a data-driven approach that rewards good driving habits, Root (NASDAQ: ROOT) is a technology-driven auto insurance company that uses mobile apps to acquire customers and data science to price policies based on individual driving behavior.

Why Does ROOT Give Us Pause?

  1. Policy losses and capital returns have eroded its book value per share this cycle as its book value per share declined by 158% annually over the last five years
  2. Negative return on equity shows management lost money while trying to expand the business

At $95.60 per share, Root trades at 4.6x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ROOT doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

Dynatrace (DT)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 11.2%

With its platform processing over 30 trillion pieces of IT performance data daily, Dynatrace (NYSE: DT) provides an AI-powered platform that helps organizations monitor, secure, and optimize their applications and IT infrastructure across cloud environments.

Why Are We Fans of DT?

  1. Winning new contracts that can potentially increase in value as its billings growth has averaged 18.9% over the last year
  2. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a premier gross margin of 81.9%
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Dynatrace’s stock price of $48.44 implies a valuation ratio of 7.2x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
