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-Producing Stocks That Concern Us

W Cover Image

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. That said, here are three cash-producing companies that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

Wayfair (W)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 1.5%

Founded in 2002 by Niraj Shah, Wayfair (NYSE: W) is a leading online retailer of mass-market home goods in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany.

Why Do We Steer Clear of W?

  1. Intense competition is diverting traffic from its platform as its active customers fell by 1.7% annually
  2. Monetization and engagement metrics haven’t budged over the last two years, suggesting it may need to increase the efficacy of its platform
  3. Gross margin of 30.3% reflects its high servicing costs

At $87.32 per share, Wayfair trades at 21.4x forward EV/EBITDA. If you’re considering W for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Regeneron (REGN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 27.1%

Founded by scientists who wanted to build a company where science could thrive, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) develops and commercializes medicines for serious diseases, with key products treating eye conditions, allergic diseases, cancer, and other disorders.

Why Does REGN Worry Us?

  1. Annual sales growth of 5.9% over the last two years lagged behind its healthcare peers as its large revenue base made it difficult to generate incremental demand
  2. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 21.4 percentage points
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Regeneron’s stock price of $559.29 implies a valuation ratio of 15.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with REGN, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Corcept (CORT)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 25.2%

Focusing on the powerful stress hormone that affects everything from metabolism to immune function, Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CORT) develops and markets medications that modulate cortisol to treat endocrine disorders, cancer, and neurological diseases.

Why Is CORT Not Exciting?

  1. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last five years, causing its adjusted operating margin to decline by 16.9 percentage points
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 2.8% annually
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Corcept is trading at $71.78 per share, or 41x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CORT doesn’t pass our bar.
