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.

Netflix Sets New Highs—Price Targets Keep Climbing

[content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ: NFLX]

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is once again back in record territory, and it doesn’t look like it plans on slowing down anytime soon. The streaming giant has now fully recovered from April’s correction, hitting a fresh high last week just above $1,260. That puts shares up nearly 50% in the past two months alone and more than 600% over the past three years.

A rally of that scale can often have analysts urging some caution, at least in the near term, but not this time. Since the start of the month, Netflix has received two fresh price target hikes, both of which point to further upside even after this monster run. The stock may be taking a short breather this week, but everything from sentiment to fundamentals continues to point to further gains this summer.

Analysts Keep Raising the Bar

UBS Group was the latest to raise its target, boosting it to $1,450 from $1,150 in a note to clients last week. That came shortly after Jefferies also reiterated its Buy rating and raised its target to $1,400. From current levels, those targets imply another close to a further 20% upside in the near term—not bad for a stock with recent gains of nearly 50% under its belt already. 

The team at UBS laid out a case rooted in Netflix’s competitive position, platform engagement, and long-term operating leverage. They highlighted that even in the company’s most mature market, the U.S., Netflix still has the potential to capture much more market share, and they see a long runway ahead for continued subscriber growth and share gains.

Jefferies echoed much of that sentiment. Their analysts pointed to Netflix’s strong content slate, expected price hikes, and surging ad revenue as near-term drivers. They also forecast 20%+ annual EPS growth over the next five years and said they believe Netflix has one of the most favorable long-term catalyst paths of the mega-cap stocks out there.

Fundamentals Still Support Further Upside

It’s easy to be cautious after a rally like this, and no one would blame investors for wanting to take profits after a 600% move in three years. But the fundamentals continue to improve in lockstep with the stock.

[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ: NFLX]

The company has been reporting record revenue prints for many quarters now and is expected to bring in up to $10 billion in annual ad revenue by 2030. Analysts see that coming not only from organic platform growth but from an expanding content offering that includes live sports and broader entertainment verticals. Add in continued gains from last year’s password crackdown, and Netflix looks like a company still in acceleration mode.

Importantly, recent price hikes have stuck. Subscriber churn hasn’t spiked, and the company appears to have built enough value into its platform to absorb further increases, something both UBS and Jefferies noted.

As the ad-supported tier matures and international markets continue to grow, Netflix could continue driving revenue and margin expansion without needing to lean entirely on subscriber growth.

Why This Rally Still Has Legs

Netflix is in rare form right now. It’s outperforming both the broader market and nearly every major tech name, and it's doing so with a solid combination of earnings strength and analyst conviction

Technically, the chart also supports the bull case, with a run of higher highs and higher lows underpinning the recovery rally since April. While Netflix shares have pulled back slightly from last week’s high, this has also had the benefit of cooling their relative strength index (RSI) from extremely overbought levels to a much more appetizing 60. With investor sentiment clearly showing signs of being back in risk-on mode, don’t be surprised if Netflix’s pullback from last Thursday’s peak is quickly gobbled up into the weekend.
