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.

GE Aerospace is Ready for Liftoff After Strong Earnings

General Electric logo. General Electric is an American multinational conglomerate corporation.

General Electric (NYSE: GE) stock is up 3.47% in early trading after the company delivered its first-quarter earnings report. The company delivered revenue of $16.1 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 82 cents per share, a 55% year-over-year (YOY) increase.  

Those numbers need a little context. This was the last earnings report for General Electric as a conglomerate. In early April, the company spun off its energy unit, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV). However, this earnings report still included results from the Vernova business unit.  

Meet GE Aerospace 

In the future, the company will report earnings as GE Aerospace with the same GE ticker symbol. GE Aerospace will be one of the top aerospace stocks and will house two business units: Commercial Engines & Services (CES) and Defense & Propulsion Technologies (DPT).

When you look at just the GE Aerospace numbers, there's still much for investors to like. The combined Aerospace unit delivered adjusted revenue of $8.1 billion, a 15% YOY increase. The Aerospace division also delivered an operating profit margin of 19.1% and $1.7 billion in free cash flow (FCF).  

Aerospace orders totaled $11 billion in the quarter, a 34% YOY increase. It was also $2.9 billion higher than adjusted revenue. 

For 2024, GE Aerospace raised its prior guidance for operating profit from $6.0 billion and $6.5 billion to $6.2 billion and $6.6 billion. The company also projects earnings to be between $3.80 and $4.05 per share.  

At the company's Investor Day in March, the company forecasted $10 billion in operating profit by 2028 and a shareholder-friendly capital allocation framework that includes $15 billion in share buybacks and a 250% dividend increase, which the company initiated in April.  

Will Positive Earnings Drive GE Aerospace Higher? 

Heading into earnings, GE stock was up more than 50% in the last 12 months. That had many analysts talking about a stock that was priced for perfection. While many analysts were reiterating their Buy (or Overweight) ratings the price targets were coming down. However, it's important to note that many of those lower price targets were still higher than the consensus price target of $160.07.  

GE stock gapped higher in early April after the dividend announcement. Since then, the stock has found resistance around the $157 level. The earnings report pushed the stock above this level. The question will be if it can hold these gains and make $157 a new level of support.  

GE Aerospace stock chart

The company's results may not qualify as perfection, but it may be close enough to confirm the bullish sentiment in the stock. As of this writing, the GE analyst ratings on MarketBeat don't show any change in analyst sentiment. But this will be something for investors to watch in the coming days and weeks.
