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 Services Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 We Avoid

EXLS Cover Image

Business services providers thrive by solving complex operational challenges for their clients, allowing them to focus on their secret sauce. Furthermore, the demand for their offerings is rising as more clients outsource non-core functions, a trend that has enabled the industry to return 14.9% over the past six months, almost identical to the S&P 500.

Although these companies have produced results, only a handful will thrive over the long term as AI-driven upstarts are rapidly taking share from the incumbents. With that said, here are two services stocks we think can generate sustainable market-beating returns and one we’re steering clear of.

One Business Services Stock to Sell:

Robert Half (RHI)

Market Cap: $3.59 billion

With roots dating back to 1948 as the first specialized recruiting firm for accounting and finance professionals, Robert Half (NYSE: RHI) provides specialized talent solutions and business consulting services, connecting skilled professionals with companies across various fields.

Why Do We Think RHI Will Underperform?

  1. Sales were flat over the last five years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
  2. Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 11.3% annually while its revenue was flat
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Robert Half’s stock price of $35.93 implies a valuation ratio of 15.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering RHI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Business Services Stocks to Watch:

EXL (EXLS)

Market Cap: $7.14 billion

Originally founded as an outsourcing company in 1999 before evolving into a technology-focused enterprise, EXL (NASDAQ: EXLS) provides data analytics and AI-powered digital operations solutions that help businesses transform their operations and make better decisions.

Why Is EXLS a Top Pick?

  1. Impressive 15.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Share repurchases over the last five years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 25.5% to outpace its revenue gains
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 11.5% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

EXL is trading at $44.08 per share, or 22.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

IMAX (IMAX)

Market Cap: $1.67 billion

Originally developed for World Expo '67 in Montreal as an innovative projection system, IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) provides proprietary large-format cinema technology and systems that deliver immersive movie experiences with enhanced image quality and sound.

Why Are We Positive On IMAX?

  1. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 34.3% annually, topping its revenue gains
  2. Free cash flow margin jumped by 26.4 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
  3. Returns on capital are increasing as management’s prior bets are starting to bear fruit

At $31.01 per share, IMAX trades at 24.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
