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 S&P 500 Stock to Target This Week and 2 That Underwhelm

KMX Cover Image

While the S&P 500 (^GSPC) includes industry leaders, not every stock in the index is a winner. Some companies are past their prime, weighed down by poor execution, weak financials, or structural headwinds.

Some large-cap stocks are past their peak, and StockStory is here to help you separate the winners from the laggards. Keeping that in mind, here is one S&P 500 stock that is leading the market forward and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

CarMax (KMX)

Market Cap: $9.21 billion

Known for its transparent, customer-centric approach and wide selection of vehicles, Carmax (NYSE: KMX) is the largest automotive retailer in the United States.

Why Do We Think KMX Will Underperform?

  1. Poor same-store sales performance over the past two years indicates it’s having trouble bringing new shoppers into its brick-and-mortar locations
  2. Gross margin of 10.8% is below its competitors, leaving less money for marketing and promotions
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

CarMax is trading at $61.89 per share, or 15.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why KMX doesn’t pass our bar.

Invesco (IVZ)

Market Cap: $9.76 billion

With roots dating back to 1935 when it pioneered the first mutual fund with an objective of capital growth, Invesco (NYSE: IVZ) is a global asset management firm that offers investment solutions across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and multi-asset strategies.

Why Is IVZ Risky?

  1. Sales tumbled by 2.4% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last five years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Low return on equity reflects management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively

At $22.03 per share, Invesco trades at 11.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with IVZ, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

Jack Henry (JKHY)

Market Cap: $11.9 billion

Founded in 1976 by two entrepreneurs who saw the need for specialized banking software in the early days of financial computing, Jack Henry & Associates (NASDAQ: JKHY) provides technology solutions that help banks and credit unions innovate, differentiate, and compete while serving the evolving needs of their accountholders.

Why Should JKHY Be on Your Watchlist?

  1. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were more profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 11.5% outpaced its revenue gains
  2. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

Jack Henry’s stock price of $163.26 implies a valuation ratio of 25.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
