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.

2 Unpopular Stocks That Deserve a Second Chance and 1 Facing Challenges

OSK Cover Image

Wall Street has issued downbeat forecasts for the stocks in this article. These predictions are rare - financial institutions typically hesitate to say bad things about a company because it can jeopardize their other revenue-generating business lines like M&A advisory.

Whatever the consensus opinion may be, our team at StockStory cuts through the noise by conducting independent analysis to determine a company’s long-term prospects. That said, here are two stocks poised to prove Wall Street wrong and one facing legitimate challenges.

One Stock to Sell:

Oshkosh (OSK)

Consensus Price Target: $147.19 (5.5% implied return)

Oshkosh (NYSE: OSK) manufactures specialty vehicles for the defense, fire, emergency, and commercial industry, operating various brand subsidiaries within each industry.

Why Are We Cautious About OSK?

  1. Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth may not meet our standards as its average backlog growth of 1.3% for the past two years was weak
  2. Competitive supply chain dynamics and steep production costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 16.4%
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 7.3 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Oshkosh’s stock price of $139.50 implies a valuation ratio of 12.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why OSK doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Stocks to Buy:

ADP (ADP)

Consensus Price Target: $320.25 (6.5% implied return)

Processing one out of every six paychecks in the United States, ADP (NASDAQ: ADP) provides cloud-based human capital management solutions that help businesses manage payroll, benefits, talent acquisition, and HR administration.

Why Will ADP Beat the Market?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 7.1% over the last five years beat the sector average and underscores the unique value of its offerings
  2. Robust free cash flow margin of 20.6% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety
  3. Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets

ADP is trading at $300.70 per share, or 27.7x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Oscar Health (OSCR)

Consensus Price Target: $11.14 (-39.8% implied return)

Founded in 2012 to simplify the notoriously complex American healthcare system, Oscar Health (NYSE: OSCR) is a technology-focused health insurance company that offers individual and small group health plans through its cloud-native platform.

Why Is OSCR a Good Business?

  1. Impressive 37.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Adjusted operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  3. Earnings per share grew by 19.3% annually over the last four years and trumped its peers

At $18.50 per share, Oscar Health trades at 120.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
