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 Is Limbach (LMB) Stock Soaring Today

LMB Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of building systems company Limbach (NASDAQ: LMB) jumped 12.9% in the afternoon session after the company delivered impressive fourth-quarter results, with EBITDA beating analysts' estimates despite a slight revenue shortfall. A key highlight was the ongoing shift toward Owner Direct Relationships (ODR), where revenue grew over 21%, accounting for nearly two-thirds of total sales. This shift helped offset an almost 25% decline in General Contractor Relationships (GCR), a segment the company had been deliberately phasing out. Looking ahead, the company issued full-year guidance for both revenue and EBITDA that exceeded expectations, reflecting confidence in improved growth. Overall, this was a strong quarter.

The shares closed the day at $79.39, up 15.4% from previous close.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Limbach’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 40 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Limbach and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business. 

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 4 months ago when the stock gained 17.1% on the news that the company reported strong third-quarter 2024 earnings. Revenue beat, which is a good start. In addition, Limbach blew past analysts' EBITDA expectations. The sales improvement was mostly driven by a 41% growth in the Owner Direct Relationships (ODR) Segment. This was due to the company's shift towards working directly with building owners, which resulted in higher-margin projects. The company also expanded its footprint following the acquisition of Kent Island Mechanical to grow market share in the Washington, D.C. area. Looking ahead, the company lifted its full-year revenue guidance. Additionally, its full-year EBITDA guidance exceeded Wall Street's estimates. Overall, we think this was a very good quarter with few blemishes.

Limbach is down 10.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $79.69 per share, it is trading 24.3% below its 52-week high of $105.33 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Limbach’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $21,307.
