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 Recession-Resistant Restaurant Stocks About To Hit New Highs

By: MarketBeat

Chipotle Stock price forecast

The restaurant industry has rebounded for the last 2 years, driven by post-COVID reopening, consolidation, and expansion efforts. That has stocks like Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) and Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) trending higher and on the verge of setting new highs.

While results underpin the action, the analysts drive the market and have both stocks on Marketbeat’s Most Upgraded Stocks list. With this trend in place and solid support from the institutions, new highs are all but assured. 

Chipotle: The Pure Growth Play 

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a play on growth that centers on CEO Brian Niccol. The company has made a complete about-face since he took the helm and is growing at an accelerating pace in 2023. Part of the strategy focuses on quality, the core of Chipotle’s offerings from the start. However, that has been amplified by a tech-centric attitude leaning heavily into eCommerce and customer relationships, driving repeat business. Another strategy pillar is the Chipotlane drive-thrus and digital kitchens that can only be accessed with the Internet. The evidence of that success can be seen in the push toward opening new Chipotlanes and remodeling old locations to have one. 

The analysts are upping their EPS and stock price targets with only a month until the following earnings reports. The 4 revisions issued in June include price target increases with a consensus above $2300. That’s $240 or 12% above the consensus target, trending higher than last month, last quarter, and last year. Assuming the following report is as good as expected, this market could quickly move into the high end of its expected range and higher. 

The chart confirms this. The chart shows a solid Bullish Flag Pattern with a $300 to $600 flag pole, depending on where you measure from. That puts the price action firmly at the $2300 level with a chance of hitting the $2600 mark, given a solid EPS report. As for the institutions, thy own nearly 92% of the stock, and their activity is ramping higher. The balance of activity is closely matched, suggesting rotation from profit-takers to new money but bullish on balance in Q1 and Q2 2023.

Darden Restaurants: Price Decline Attracts New Money

Darden Restaurants did not catalyze a rally with its Q4 results and outlook for 2023. The news was tepid despite calling for growth and operational improvement, resulting in a mid-single-digit drop in share value. That move was met by buyers and analysts raising their price targets for the stock. The company received 6 revisions that Marketbeat’s tools picked up, including 5 upward and 1 down. The takeaway from the data is that the single downward revision is $17 above the consensus, and the average of the 6 is close to the same. That’s more than 10% above the broad consensus trending higher. It is also deep into the new all-time high territory and has the market on the verge of a breakout. 

Shares of DRI stock were trending higher before 2020 and have continued that trend since. The company’s growth trajectory drives the uptrend, and operational quality includes a healthy dividend. The stock yields more than 3.25% and is accompanied by share repurchases. The recent purchase of Ruth’s Chris Steak House owner Ruth’s Hospitality Group is expected to drive top and bottom-line growth and margin improvement. 

The chart is favorable to higher prices. The market recently hit a new all-time high and has decreased slightly since. The post-release action includes a drop in prices that produced a rebound. The weekly candle is red, but the daily action shows a trend-following bounce that should result in another rally.
