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 Unpopular Stock That Deserves a Second Chance and 2 That Underwhelm

ORLY Cover Image

Wall Street’s bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bearish calls are justified. That said, here is one stock where you should be greedy instead of fearful and two where the skepticism is well-placed.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Monro (MNRO)

Consensus Price Target: $16 (-6.8% implied return)

Started as a single location in Rochester, New York, Monro (NASDAQ: MNRO) provides common auto services such as brake repairs, tire replacements, and oil changes.

Why Should You Sell MNRO?

  1. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and store experience
  2. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last year as its operating margin fell by 6 percentage points
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively, and its falling returns suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Monro is trading at $17.17 per share, or 24.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering MNRO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Artisan Partners (APAM)

Consensus Price Target: $45.63 (-2.9% implied return)

Founded in 1994 with a focus on autonomous investment teams and a "high-value-added" approach, Artisan Partners (NYSE: APAM) is an investment management firm that offers actively managed equity and fixed income strategies to institutional and individual investors.

Why Are We Hesitant About APAM?

  1. 6.8% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its financials peers
  2. Annual earnings per share growth of 5.2% underperformed its revenue over the last five years, showing its incremental sales were less profitable

Artisan Partners’s stock price of $46.99 implies a valuation ratio of 2.5x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including APAM in your portfolio.

One Stock to Buy:

O'Reilly (ORLY)

Consensus Price Target: $106.86 (1.4% implied return)

Serving both the DIY customer and professional mechanic, O’Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) is an auto parts and accessories retailer that sells everything from fuel pumps to car air fresheners to mufflers.

Why Will ORLY Outperform?

  1. Comparable store sales rose by 3.9% on average over the past two years, demonstrating its ability to drive increased spending at existing locations
  2. Unique assortment of products and pricing power are reflected in its best-in-class gross margin of 51.3%
  3. ORLY is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

At $105.40 per share, O'Reilly trades at 33.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
