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 Growth Stocks to Add to Your Roster and 1 We Turn Down

AWI Cover Image

Growth is oxygen. But when it evaporates, the consequences can be severe - ask anyone who bought Cisco in the Dot-Com Bubble or newer investors who lived through the 2020 to 2022 COVID cycle.

Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. On that note, here are two growth stocks expanding their competitive advantages and one that could be down big.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

Northwest Bancshares (NWBI)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +19.1%

Founded in 1896 and operating across Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and Indiana, Northwest Bancshares (NASDAQ: NWBI) is a bank holding company that operates Northwest Bank, providing personal and business banking, investment management, and trust services.

Why Is NWBI Not Exciting?

  1. Muted 5.9% annual net interest income growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its banking peers
  2. 2.3% annual tangible book value per share growth over the last five years was slower than its banking peers
  3. Forecasted tangible book value per share decline of 4.2% for the upcoming 12 months implies profitability will deteriorate significantly

Northwest Bancshares’s stock price of $12.71 implies a valuation ratio of 1x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than NWBI.

Two Growth Stocks to Watch:

Armstrong World (AWI)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.6%

Started as a two-man shop dating back to the 1860s, Armstrong (NYSE: AWI) provides ceiling and wall products to commercial and residential spaces.

Why Are We Backing AWI?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 11.1% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Healthy operating margin of 24.7% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes, and its profits increased over the last five years as it scaled
  3. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 19.5%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last two years

Armstrong World is trading at $198.43 per share, or 26.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

PennyMac Financial Services (PFSI)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +19.2%

Founded during the 2008 financial crisis to help address the mortgage market meltdown, PennyMac Financial Services (NYSE: PFSI) is a specialty financial services company that originates, services, and manages investments related to residential mortgage loans in the United States.

Why Do We Like PFSI?

  1. Impressive 39.9% annual net interest income growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 66.2% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 18.8% over the last five years was superb and indicates its capital strength increased during this cycle

At $117.49 per share, PennyMac Financial Services trades at 1.4x forward P/B. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
