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 Tenable (TENB) Shares Are Getting Obliterated Today

TENB Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of cybersecurity software maker Tenable (NASDAQ: TENB) fell 6.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter results that presented a mixed picture. Its outlook for the next quarter was less encouraging, as the company's revenue guidance for the upcoming quarter came in slightly below expectations, and its EPS forecast fell short of Wall Street's projections. On the other hand, Tenable's optimistic full-year EPS guidance significantly exceeded analysts' expectations, and its revenue outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this was a weaker quarter.

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

What The Market Is Telling Us

Tenable’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 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 6 months ago when the stock dropped 15.3% on the news that the company reported weak second quarter earnings results. Its full-year revenue guidance was below expectations, and its revenue guidance for next quarter missed Wall Street's estimates. In addition, blinning and free cash flow fell below expectations amidst what management considered "more challenging selling environment." Overall, this quarter could have been better and the outlook is weighing on the stock. 

Following the results, D.A. Davidson's analyst downgraded the stock's rating from Buy to Neutral and cut its price target from $56 to $40. The analyst added, "VM (vulnerability management) was an area of strength in Q1 in part due to increasing customer churn from some top VM competitors, and we expected that trend to play out again in Q2...With the exact opposite taking place, greenfield opportunities in VM seemingly drying up, and TENB talking about increased deal scrutiny & lengthening sales cycles in VM, we now believe VM growth could slow even further and become an increasing drag on overall growth despite increasingly favorable competitive dynamics in VM."

Tenable is up 3.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $40.48 per share, it is still trading 22% below its 52-week high of $51.89 from February 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Tenable’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,447.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. 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.
