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 on Our Buy List and 2 We Ignore

TSN Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

A business making money today isn’t necessarily a winner, which is why we analyze companies across multiple dimensions at StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Tyson Foods (TSN)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 2.7%

Started as a simple trucking business, Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) is one of the world’s largest producers of chicken, beef, and pork.

Why Should You Sell TSN?

  1. Scale is a double-edged sword because it limits the company’s growth potential compared to its smaller competitors, as reflected in its below-average annual revenue increases of 1.1% for the last three years
  2. Easily substituted products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 7.4% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Earnings per share have contracted by 25.5% annually over the last three years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance

Tyson Foods is trading at $56.54 per share, or 14.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TSN.

Teledyne (TDY)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 17.7%

Playing a role in mapping the ocean floor as we know it today, Teledyne (NYSE: TDY) offers digital imaging and instrumentation products for various industries.

Why Are We Cautious About TDY?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 2.5 percentage points
  3. Underwhelming 6.7% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Teledyne’s stock price of $537.91 implies a valuation ratio of 23.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TDY doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

Huron (HURN)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.5%

Founded in 2002 during a time of significant regulatory change in corporate America, Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN) is a professional services company that helps organizations develop growth strategies, optimize operations, and implement digital transformation solutions.

Why Should You Buy HURN?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 10.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Adjusted operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  3. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 27.8% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years

At $137.73 per share, Huron trades at 17.9x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
