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 CACI (CACI) Stock Is Nosediving

What Happened?

Shares of defense, intelligence, and IT solutions provider CACI International (NYSE: CACI) fell 9.1% in the morning session after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings results, with markets increasingly worried that new cost-cutting initiatives by the US government would affect Defense contracts. Although CACI reported a strong quarter with revenue, EBITDA, EPS ahead of Wall Street's expectations as well as a statement that they're well on their way to meet the three-year financial targets unveiled during the November 2024 Investor Day, the market became fearful of the impact of DOGE during the earnings call Q&A session. 

DOGE or the Dept of Government Efficiency was recently established by President Donald Trump as a result of his frustration with government bloat and inefficiency. A primary objective is to streamline federal operations and significantly reduce government spending, with a target of cutting up to $2 trillion over the next decade. For example, DOGE plans to reassess and renegotiate existing Department of Defense contracts to achieve cost savings, and this could lead to reduced contract values or more stringent terms for defense contractors such as CACI and others. 

Additionally, there will likely be efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce, which may result in fewer government personnel overseeing and managing defense contracts. This could slow down procurement processes and delay project approvals, impacting contractors' operations. Defense contractor stocks have seen multiple compression since President Trump first introduced DOGE, and yesterday's CACI earnings call had multiple questions related to the topic that seemed to make the market more fearful that DOGE will indeed be a headwind to CACI and peers.

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

What The Market Is Telling Us

CACI’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 3 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.

CACI is up 7.2% since the beginning of the year, but at $440.66 per share, it is still trading 23% below its 52-week high of $572.44 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of CACI’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,620.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
