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 AMD (AMD) Stock Is Trading Up Today

AMD Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) jumped 9.7% in the afternoon session after the stock maintained its strong momentum following the announcement of a significant, multi-year partnership with OpenAI. 

This move continued a surge from earlier in the week when the deal was first revealed. The agreement positioned AMD as a key challenger to Nvidia in the AI chip market. Under the partnership, AMD agreed to supply its upcoming GPUs, including the MI450, to power OpenAI's growing data center needs, a deal potentially unlocking over $100 billion in revenue. To align interests, AMD also issued warrants allowing OpenAI to purchase up to 160 million company shares. The news prompted a wave of positive coverage from Wall Street, with Jefferies upgrading the stock from “Hold” to “Buy” and numerous other firms, including Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, raising their price targets.

Is now the time to buy AMD? Access our full analysis report here.

What Is The Market Telling Us

AMD’s shares are very volatile and have had 23 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 1 day ago when the stock gained 4.1% as investors continued to react positively to its landmark strategic partnership with OpenAI, extending gains from the previous trading session. 

The chipmaker announced a multi-year, multi-billion dollar deal to supply up to 6 gigawatts of its Instinct GPUs to power OpenAI's next-generation AI infrastructure. This monumental agreement was projected to generate tens of billions in revenue for AMD. The partnership was viewed as a significant move that positioned AMD to challenge its main rival in the AI hardware market. Following the news, Wall Street analysts responded favorably. For instance, Jefferies upgraded the stock to a buy and raised its price target to $300, which became the new high on the Street.

AMD is up 93.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $233.29 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of AMD’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,697.

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.
