About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

4 Overbought Household Names, Time for a Pullback?

Overbought stocks - FedEx

Amidst the ongoing surge led by the semiconductor sector, the Artificial Intelligence revolution, and  Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), which is steering the S&P 500 to new heights, several overbought scenarios have developed in individual stocks. These scenarios may have sparked investor concerns over potential overvaluations, resulting in pullbacks and corrections in select stocks.

Numerous stocks have shown extreme overbought signals, with the market hovering near record levels, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates. This measure evaluates the recent magnitude of price changes to determine overbought or oversold conditions within a specified timeframe.

In light of this, stocks such as General Electric (NYSE: GE), Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG), FedEx (NYSE: FDX), and The Gap (NYSE: GPS) have surfaced as overbought contenders within the U.S. market. This signals a potential predisposition to pullbacks, as investors may opt to lock in profits.

Meanwhile, the broader market continues to ascent to new highs, with the SPY ETF closing just 0.55% below its all-time peak last week and the QQQ tech sector ETF concluding the week merely 0.6% shy of its all-time high. So, while the overall market melts higher, could these four overbought stocks face imminent pullbacks? Let's delve deeper to find out.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG)

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is buoyed by bullish sentiment, marked by a moderate buy rating, low short interest, and projected earnings growth of 21.67%. Additionally, investor optimism remains high with a recent stock split announcement as shares approach $3000. However, despite the bullish fundamentals and sentiment, caution may be warranted as the stock has surged significantly, extending notably from its 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Furthermore, with an overbought RSI of 77.29 and a consensus price target forecasting almost 13% downside, CMG appears vulnerable to a potential pullback in the near future.

The Gap (NYSE: GPS)

The Gap is experiencing overwhelming bearish sentiment, marked by a substantial short interest of 13.94% of the float, insider sells in the last quarter, and a consensus analyst price target forecasting over 30% downside for the stock. Despite this pessimistic outlook, GPS has recently surged, with year-to-date gains of 34.29% and over 200% over the previous year. 

Remarkably, despite its recent upward momentum, the stock's price-to-earnings ratio remains modest at just 20.96. However, the RSI now suggests that GPS has entered overbought territory, with the RSI at 82.80, signaling a potential pullback on the horizon.

General Electric (NYSE: GE)

General Electric exhibits bullish sentiment, supported by a moderate buy rating and projected earnings growth of 29.32%. However, despite the positive outlook, caution may be warranted. The stock has surged almost 40% year-to-date and nearly 100% over the previous year, leaving it significantly extended from key Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). Additionally, with an overbought RSI of 76.85, GE appears poised for a pullback in the near term.

FedEx (NYSE: FDX)

FedEx stands out as one of the most upgraded stocks, boasting a moderate buy rating from 25 analysts and a consensus price target forecasting nearly 6% higher despite already soaring over 30% in the previous year and almost 17% in the last month. 

The company's recent earnings report released on March 21st, 2024, was a significant catalyst for these gains. In this report, the shipping service provider exceeded expectations, reporting earnings per share of $3.86 for the quarter, surpassing analysts' consensus estimates by $0.37. However, despite the positive gains, the stock faces resistance near $285, compounded by an elevated RSI of 84.35, indicating overbought conditions and rendering it susceptible to a potential pullback.
