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 Levi's (LEVI) Stock Is Nosediving

LEVI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of denim clothing company Levi's (NYSE: LEVI) fell 12% in the morning session after the company's full-year profit forecast, while raised, came in just shy of Wall Street's expectations, overshadowing an otherwise strong quarterly report. The denim maker reported third-quarter revenue of $1.54 billion and adjusted earnings of $0.34 per share, beating analysts' estimates on both fronts as sales grew 7% year over year. However, investor focus shifted to the company's outlook. Although Levi's raised its adjusted earnings per share guidance, the new midpoint of $1.30 fell just below the consensus estimate. The market's negative reaction indicated that the solid quarterly performance was not enough to outweigh concerns that future profitability would not meet Wall Street's higher expectations.

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 Levi's? Access our full analysis report here.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Levi’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 5 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Levi's and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 9 days ago when the stock gained 3.2% on the news that BofA Securities raised its price target on the stock, citing strong demand for denim. The investment firm lifted its price target on Levi Strauss & Co. to $27 from $26, while maintaining its 'Buy' rating. Analysts at BofA pointed to the strength in the denim category and the brand's expanding global appeal as key reasons for their positive outlook. The firm also noted it expects positive earnings per share momentum for the company. This optimism aligns with broader trends in the apparel sector, where other major players have also recently reported strong growth, signaling healthy consumer demand.

Levi's is up 24.6% since the beginning of the year, but at $21.71 per share, it is still trading 12% below its 52-week high of $24.66 from October 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Levi’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,374.

While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
