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 Stocks Under $50 That Concern Us

CAG Cover Image

Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here are three stocks under $50 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.

Conagra (CAG)

Share Price: $18.13

Founded in 1919 as Nebraska Consolidated Mills in Omaha, Nebraska, Conagra Brands today (NYSE: CAG) boasts a diverse portfolio of packaged foods brands that includes everything from whipped cream to jarred pickles to frozen meals.

Why Is CAG Risky?

  1. Shrinking unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  2. Estimated sales decline of 3.4% for the next 12 months implies an even more challenging demand environment
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Conagra’s stock price of $18.13 implies a valuation ratio of 7.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CAG, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Movado (MOV)

Share Price: $18.76

With its watches displayed in 20 museums around the world, Movado (NYSE: MOV) is a watchmaking company with a portfolio of watch brands and accessories.

Why Do We Pass on MOV?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 4.3% over the last two years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Estimated sales growth of 1.5% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $18.76 per share, Movado trades at 0.7x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MOV doesn’t pass our bar.

Matrix Service (MTRX)

Share Price: $13.04

Founded in Oklahoma, Matrix Service (NASDAQ: MTRX) provides engineering, fabrication, construction, and maintenance services primarily to the energy and industrial markets.

Why Do We Steer Clear of MTRX?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 6.9% annually over the last five years
  2. High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 3.9% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Performance over the past five years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share dropped by 34.8% annually, worse than its revenue

Matrix Service is trading at $13.04 per share, or 20.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including MTRX in your portfolio.
