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 Airbnb (ABNB) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

ABNB Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online accommodations platform Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) fell 8.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter earnings and provided revenue and EBITDA margin guidance for the next quarter that fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Revenue and EBITDA in the quarter both beat, and encouragingly, bookings (referred to as 'Nights & Experiences Booked' by the company) growth accelerated in Q3 and through Q4 thus far. 

While observing encouraging demand trends, the company plans to continue investing in product development and also ramp up marketing efforts to capture more market share. 

However, these initiatives may come at the cost of short-term margin compression, as the Q4 implied EBITDA margin derived from the full-year EBITDA guide suggests year on year margin compression. 

Overall, the results revealed better top line trends but the continuation of a 'show me story' with regard to margins and the returns on big investment spend.

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 Airbnb? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Airbnb’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. 

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock dropped 16.6% on the news that the company reported weak second-quarter earnings results. Its bookings missed and its revenue guidance for next quarter missed Wall Street's estimates. The company said that "...we are seeing shorter booking lead times globally and some signs of slowing demand from U.S. guests." 

On the other hand, revenue beat slightly, and adjusted EBITDA beat by a more convincing amount. Overall, this was a mixed but weaker quarter for Airbnb.

Airbnb is down 0% since the beginning of the year, and at $134.41 per share, it is trading 20.1% below its 52-week high of $168.18 from March 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Airbnb’s shares at the IPO in December 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $928.88.

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.
