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.

Monday.com's Stock Results Will Brighten Any Investor's Week

Monday.com (NASDAQ: MNDY) had another beat-and-raise quarter because the combination of its offering and operational quality delivered results. The company delivers results for its clients and investors and has its stock on track to hit a multi-year high soon. The question is whether this market will dip again before crossing the critical threshold and if there is a chance it might. The takeaway is that, dip or no dip, this market is simmering and could come to a boil at any time. 

Monday.com Advances After Another Beat-and-Raise Report

Monday.com technology resonates with users because of its plug-and-play platform. The platform is easy to use, systems are easy to assemble, and results are quick to follow. The business's revenue grew by 34.4% in Q2 to $236.1 million, accelerating its growth sequentially from Q1 and sustaining a high double-digit pace for another year. The revenue is also 300 basis points above the analysts' consensus figure, compounded by increased guidance, so investors may expect to see them revise their estimates and price targets higher. 

The dual forces of increased client counts and service penetration drive revenue growth. Client growth approached 50% for businesses contributing more than $50K and $100K in annual recurring revenue, with net retention up 110% systemwide and 114% for large clients. Net retention is a measure of revenue generated by existing clients. A figure above 100% shows increased penetration: Monday.com’s figures show business momentum is present and driven by more lucrative, larger businesses. 

As good as the top-line data is, the margin and bottom-line news is better. The company’s increasing revenue leverage and push toward more efficient operations significantly improved all margin comparisons and the first quarter of GAAP profits. The adjusted operating margin widened by 700 basis points to 16%, driving a 130% increase in adjusted operating income and robust cash flows. Cash flow is up 17% compared to last year, with the only bad news being a contraction in the FCF margin. However, FCF is up 10% compared to last year on a solid 21% FCF margin, providing nearly $51 million in useable cash. 

Guidance is the brightest spot of this report. The company raised guidance for Q3 and the year, putting the new targets' low ends above the consensus estimates. The guidance may also be cautious, given the trends, which include numerous guidance increases followed by company outperformance. Regarding the balance sheet and the company’s financial health, Monday.com is net-cash with cash rising and total liability leverage less than 0.5x the cash position. Liability also rose but was insufficient to offset cash and asset builds, leaving shareholder equity up 12% YOY. 

Analysts Are Lifting Sentiment and Price Targets for Monday.com 

No analysts issued a revision in the first few hours following Monday.com’s Q2 release, but they will likely be positive when they come. Until then, the sentiment trend is bullish, leading the market to a fresh multi-year high. Critical details include a 25% increase in analysts covering the stock over the past twelve months and a rising price target. The involvement of 16 analysts indicates a strong belief that this stock will surpass the $255 consensus price target, potentially reaching closer to $300. The $255 target is a critical detail because it would be the highest traded price for this stock since early January 2022. 

The market for MNDY is struggling with resistance at the current high, but the action is suggestive that a higher move is coming. The trading volume is rising, and the MACD and stochastic indicators are forming a solid buy signal that will likely extend the rally. The technical targets suggest a move above $300 is possible before the year’s end.
