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.

Symbotic is at a Critical Price Point: Are Big Gains in Sight?

By: MarketBeat

symbolic stock price

Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM) stock is down about 50% from the summer highs, but all is not lost. The market has reached the bottom and is at a critical price point that could lead to a rebound this year. Based on the information, Symbotic is emerging as a leader in AI/robotics and stands to gain traction on top of its already well-established business.

This means that a retest of the summer highs is more than possible and that news highs are likely; the only question is when the rally will start and how long it will take the market to get there. 

Symbotic Emerges as a Robotics Leader 

Symbotic’s offerings are targeted at warehouse automation but come with a suite of development labs working to advance the science. Computer vision is among the avenues of progress which the company uses extensively. They are working to advance binocular, 3-D vision,  and LiDAR coupled with neural networks, edge computing, and object detection/manipulation. The robots are moving objects around warehouses now; eventually, these robots could be advanced to the point of manufacturing capability. 

The opportunity today is providing automated warehouse equipment, software, and services. Customers include all of Walmart’s distribution centers and warehouses for Target and Albertson’s. This list is expected to expand over the next year as production capability ramps and the growing backlog is whittled down. 

Results are Impressive, and Future Business is Assured 

Symbotic’s results this year are stellar, and the backlog suggests the future business is assured. The Q2 results included 77% YOY growth, 20% of outperformance, and cautious guidance. The guidance assumes a sequential revenue downtick contrary to the trend and the backlog. The backlog was reported at $23 billion, which amounts to roughly 20 years of business at the 2023 pace. More importantly, the company’s growth trajectory has it set up to produce break-even results on an adjusted basis in Q3, and the company could easily surpass that outlook. 

Symbotic has the Support of SoftBank, a Japan-based technology holding company and investment firm. Support includes bringing the business to the public market via SPAC and becoming a client. SoftBank is purchasing Symbotic robotic systems for its warehouses and forming a joint venture called GreenBox Systems. 

GreenBox Systems is a joint venture between SoftBank and Symbotic to bring Symbotic warehouse automation to small and mid-sized businesses on a rental basis. This move unlocks a significant opportunity; the global warehouse automation market is expected to grow at a 17% CAGR through 2030 to reach $71 billion. 

Symbotic, Well-Capitalized and on Track for Profits

Symbotic has worked the last year diligently to improve margin and is on track to reach profitability by year-end. The outlook for next year has profits ramping in tandem with revenue growth and there is more than enough capital on the books to sustain operations until then. The Q3 results included $513 million in cash and securities, up nearly $50 million YOY, with $39 million in losses (only $3 million on an EBITDA basis).

The Analysts Drive Symbotic Higher 

The consensus price target for Symbotic tracked by Marketbeat topped out since the last earnings report but is trending higher compared to last quarter and last year, implying more than a 40% upside for this market. The next visible catalyst will be the Q3 results, which may be underestimating the company’s strength. 

The market for Symbotic stock is showing signs of a bottom. The market is showing support at the 150-day and 30-day EMA’s, which may propel it higher over the next few weeks. In this scenario, the SYM market should move above the $36.50 level soon and possibly trend higher through the end of the year.
