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.

3 Large-Cap Stocks That Concern Us

KEYS Cover Image

Large-cap stocks usually command their industries because they have the scale to drive market trends. The flip side though is that their sheer size can limit growth as expanding further becomes an increasingly challenging task.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - our job is to find you high-quality companies that can win regardless of the conditions. Keeping that in mind, here are three large-cap stocks whose momentum may slow and a few alternatives you should consider instead.

Keysight (KEYS)

Market Cap: $30.62 billion

Spun off from Hewlett-Packard in 2014, Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) offers electronic measurement products for use in various sectors.

Why Are We Cautious About KEYS?

  1. Product roadmap and go-to-market strategy need to be reconsidered as its backlog has averaged 1.9% declines over the past two years
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 9.8% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Keysight is trading at $178.15 per share, or 23.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including KEYS in your portfolio.

IQVIA (IQV)

Market Cap: $31.83 billion

Created from the 2016 merger of Quintiles (a clinical research organization) and IMS Health (a healthcare data specialist), IQVIA (NYSE: IQV) provides clinical research services, data analytics, and technology solutions to help pharmaceutical companies develop and market medications more effectively.

Why Is IQV Not Exciting?

  1. Annual sales growth of 3.4% over the last two years lagged behind its healthcare peers as its large revenue base made it difficult to generate incremental demand
  2. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  3. 3.5 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

IQVIA’s stock price of $187.22 implies a valuation ratio of 15.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than IQV.

Hartford (HIG)

Market Cap: $36.82 billion

Recognizable by its iconic stag logo that dates back to 1810, The Hartford (NYSE: HIG) provides property and casualty insurance, group benefits, and investment products to individuals and businesses across the United States.

Why Does HIG Give Us Pause?

  1. Large revenue base constrains its growth potential, as seen in its unexciting 6.2% annualized increases in net premiums earned over the last five years fell below our expectations for the insurance sector
  2. Estimated sales decline of 15% for the next 12 months implies a challenging demand environment
  3. Sizable asset base leads to capital growth challenges as its 5.4% annual book value per share increases over the last five years fell short of other insurance companies

At $130.95 per share, Hartford trades at 2.1x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HIG doesn’t pass our bar.
