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.

Why Reddit (RDDT) Stock Is Down Today

RDDT Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online community and discussion platform Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) fell 8.9% in the afternoon session after Bloomberg reported that shareholder Advance Magazine Publishers (the parent company of Conde Nast, which owns brands like GQ and Vanity Fair) is planning to sell up to 7.8 million of its Redditt shares at a discounted price. The sale is expected to fetch Advance Magazine Publishers roughly $ 1.2 billion, which translates to a high single-digit discount relative to the stock's closing price on November 21, 2024 (a day before news of the sale was reported). Separately, the company plans to buy derivatives to offset the sale and enable it to maintain its stake in Redditt as part of a credit facility. The stock's reaction suggests markets expect the sale to depress Redditt's share price at least in the short term. 

Separately, China's Tencent Holdings also disclosed in a regulatory filing that it sold a portion of its Reddit shares. The recent sale reduced Tencent's ownership in Redditt to 7.7m shares, down from 10.7m earlier in the month.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Reddit? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Reddit’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. 

The previous big move we wrote about was 23 days ago when the stock gained 42.4% on the news that the company reported strong third-quarter earnings. Reddit beat revenue and EBITDA, especially despite the slight DAU underperformance. However, platform engagement was still strong, with Logged-out users up 70% year-over-year. Notably, the company reported that "Reddit" was the sixth most Googled word since the start of the year, pointing to the strong potential to convert more internet users to its platform. It also highlights the potential to continue to grow and optimize ad revenue as the company continues to experiment with new ad formats. The company's optimistic EBITDA forecast for the next quarter also blew past analysts' expectations. Overall, this was a great quarter for the company.

Reddit is up 189% since the beginning of the year, and at $145.87 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $158.02 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Reddit’s shares at the IPO in March 2024 would now be looking at an investment worth $2,889.

When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we’ve found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.
