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 Cash-Burning Stocks That Concern Us

By: StockStory

SPWH Cover Image

Rapid spending isn’t always a sign of progress. Some cash-burning businesses fail to convert investments into meaningful competitive advantages, leaving them vulnerable.

Negative cash flow can lead to trouble, but StockStory helps you identify the businesses that stand a chance of making it through. That said, here are three cash-burning companies to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Sportsman's Warehouse (SPWH)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -4.5%

A go-to destination for individuals passionate about hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, shooting sports, and more, Sportsman's Warehouse (NASDAQ: SPWH) is an American specialty retailer offering a diverse range of active gear, equipment, and apparel.

Why Do We Think SPWH Will Underperform?

  1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 9.2 percentage points over the last year, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Sportsman's Warehouse’s stock price of $2.97 implies a valuation ratio of 2.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SPWH in your portfolio.

Krispy Kreme (DNUT)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -8.9%

Famous for its Original Glazed doughnuts and parent company of Insomnia Cookies, Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ: DNUT) is one of the most beloved and well-known fast-food chains in the world.

Why Is DNUT Risky?

  1. Earnings per share have dipped by 38.7% annually over the past three years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  2. Increased cash burn over the last year raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $3.64 per share, Krispy Kreme trades at 4.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with DNUT, check out our full research report (it’s free).

AAON (AAON)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -14.2%

Backed by two million square feet of lab testing space, AAON (NASDAQ: AAON) makes heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment for different types of buildings.

Why Are We Wary of AAON?

  1. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last five years, causing its operating margin to decline by 5.2 percentage points
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 8.3% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 26.3 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

AAON is trading at $91.49 per share, or 38.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AAON.
