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.

Chinese Stocks Stage Impressive Rebound

Photo of a chart showing a stock rebound. Chinese Stocks Surge: Impressive Rebound in the MarketAfter consecutive years of market losses in China, geopolitical tensions, and a lingering property crisis, many U.S. asset managers are now showing confidence in Chinese stocks, highlighting potential opportunities. In March, billionaire investor Ray Dalio suggested that China presents an opportune moment for investment due to its affordability.

Heavyweight Chinese stocks listed on the U.S. exchanges recently hit bottom and surged higher, presenting a promising risk-reward proposition. Once deemed uninvestable due to economic challenges, China's stock market has experienced a notable resurgence, with the MSCI China Index surging 20% from its bear market lows. 

Factors contributing to this turnaround include Beijing's efforts to revitalize the economy by restricting short-selling and promoting new real estate strategies. Despite earlier concerns about China's economic outlook, foreign investors are returning to their markets, buoyed by a 5.3% economic growth in the first quarter of 2024. 

With this backdrop, it's worth exploring whether it’s time to buy oversold Chinese stocks that have recently rebounded, such as Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), and JD.com (NASDAQ: JD).

Alibaba Group Holding Limited

[content-module:CompanyOverview|NYSE: BABA]Alibaba is a prominent eCommerce and Internet technology giant. Its primary platform, Alibaba.com, ranks as the world's third-largest eCommerce platform by sales. Alibaba offers infrastructure and marketing support for merchants of all sizes, facilitating brand development and customer connections in China and internationally. Since topping out in 2020, shares of Alibaba have been in a steady and, at times, violent downtrend, falling from its peak in 2020 of $320 to a low in 2022 of $58.01.

However, the stock has recently broken its downtrend and turned positive on the year thanks to its 13.05% surge higher this month. Notably, the stock has reclaimed all major moving averages, including its 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Despite its recent rebound, the stock is 20.65% below its 52-week high and has a modest P/E of 14.81. Analysts are bullish on the name, with a Moderate Buy rating and consensus price target that forecasts an impressive 38.8% upside for the eCommerce giant. 

Baidu, Inc.

[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ: BIDU]Baidu focuses on internet-related services and artificial intelligence. It offers various products and services, including Baidu Search, China's leading search engine. The company has expanded into cloud services, providing storage, data analysis, and AI services through Baidu Cloud.

Like BABA, shares of Baidu recently broke its major downtrend thanks to an impressive 12.8% surge higher last week. Baidu, which is almost 28% below its 52-week high, has an attractive P/E of 14.5 and is a favorite among analysts. Based on 15 ratings, the stock has a consensus Buy rating and consensus price target of $171.64, which forecasts a whopping 51.3% potential upside for the online search giant. 

JD.com, Inc.

[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ: JD]JD.com is a prominent Chinese eCommerce company. Initially starting as an online magneto-optical store, the company has evolved into one of China's largest B2C online retailers, offering various products, including electronics, mobile phones, computers, and more. Operating through multiple segments like JD Retail, JD Logistics, and JD Technology, the company is known for its authentic products, competitive pricing, and customer-centric approach.

Shares of JD have not only outperformed the overall market recently but have also been one of the top-performing Chinese stocks in recent months, surging by over 50% in the quarter so far. The company, which has a $51.8 billion market capitalization, offers a 2.25% dividend yield, an attractive P/E of 15.43, and projected earnings growth of 13.33% for the full year. Like the stocks mentioned above, JD is a favorite among analysts. The stock has a Moderate Buy rating and consensus price target predicting over 8% upside.
