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 Low-Volatility Stocks We’re Skeptical Of

HLF Cover Image

A stock with low volatility can be reassuring, but it doesn’t always mean strong long-term performance. Investors who prioritize stability may miss out on higher-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Choosing the wrong investments can cause you to fall behind, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the winners from the losers. That said, here are three low-volatility stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Herbalife (HLF)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.40

With the first products sold out of the trunk of the founder’s car, Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) today offers a portfolio of shakes, supplements, personal care products, and weight management programs to help customers reach their nutritional and fitness goals.

Why Are We Cautious About HLF?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years show it’s struggled to move its products and had to rely on price increases
  2. Demand will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street’s estimates imply tepid growth of 3.6%
  3. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last three years, partly because it diluted shareholders

Herbalife is trading at $8.98 per share, or 4.2x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with HLF, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.19

Born out of a 2018 merger between Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple, Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) is a consumer staples powerhouse boasting a portfolio of beverages including sodas, coffees, and juices.

Why Is KDP Not Exciting?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 5.9% annual revenue increases over the last three years fell short of other consumer staples companies
  2. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last year as its operating margin fell by 6.1 percentage points
  3. Underwhelming 5.8% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Keurig Dr Pepper’s stock price of $26.28 implies a valuation ratio of 12.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering KDP for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Assured Guaranty (AGO)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.66

Serving as a financial safety net for over $11 trillion in debt service payments since its founding in 2003, Assured Guaranty (NYSE: AGO) provides credit protection products that guarantee scheduled payments on municipal bonds, infrastructure projects, and structured finance obligations.

Why Are We Wary of AGO?

  1. Insurance policy sales contracted this cycle as net premiums earned decreased by 4.3% annually over the last five years
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 29.8% over the next 12 months as its demand continues evaporating
  3. Low return on equity reflects management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively

At $84.88 per share, Assured Guaranty trades at 0.7x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AGO.
