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 European Wax Center (EWCZ) Stock Soaring Today

EWCZ Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of beauty and waxing service franchise European Wax Center (NASDAQ: EWCZ) jumped 14.7% in the morning session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results, which blew past analysts' sales, earnings, and EBITDA estimates. 

The beat came from a rebound in customer spending and a small increase in store count, which helped push system-wide sales up even though revenue was mostly flat. 

On the cost side, the company cut back on advertising, which helped offset increased expenses tied to leadership changes. For the rest of the year, the company stuck to its sales and profits forecasts, aiming for more profit growth even though it's closing more stores than it planned to open. Overall, we think this was a decent quarter with some key metrics above expectations.

What The Market Is Telling Us

European Wax Center’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 45 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for European Wax Center and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 22 days ago when the stock gained 5% as investor sentiment improved on renewed optimism that the US-China trade conflict might be nearing a resolution. According to reports, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reinforced this positive outlook by describing the trade war as "unsustainable," and emphasized that a potential agreement between the two economic powers "was possible." His comments signaled to markets that both sides might be motivated to seek common ground, raising expectations for reduced tariffs and more stability across markets.

European Wax Center is down 31.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $4.33 per share, it is trading 63.4% below its 52-week high of $11.83 from June 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of European Wax Center’s shares at the IPO in August 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $202.43.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
