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 Apogee (APOG) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

APOG Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of architectural products company Apogee (NASDAQ: APOG) jumped 12% in the morning session after the company reported first-quarter results that beat analyst expectations and raised its full-year guidance for both sales and earnings. Apogee now expects full-year adjusted earnings per share to be between $3.80 and $4.20, up from its previous estimate and ahead of Wall Street's consensus of $3.72. The company also lifted its sales forecast to a range of $1.40 billion to $1.44 billion. First-quarter revenue saw a 4.6% year-over-year increase to $346.6 million, driven in part by the recent acquisition of UW Solutions. 

While the company faced headwinds from tariffs and lower volumes in its architectural glass segment, CEO Ty R. Silberhorn expressed confidence in a stronger second-half performance. The positive guidance suggests that Apogee's strategic initiatives, including the UW Solutions integration and other investments, are expected to expand its market reach and drive future growth.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Apogee’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 11 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Apogee and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 6 months ago when the stock dropped 17% on the news that the company reported underwhelming calendar fourth-quarter 2024 results. Sales were flat year on year, and this weighed on profits as operating margin fell. In addition, its full-year EPS guidance slightly missed, suggesting the weakness might be more pronounced in the coming quarters. Overall, we think this was a challenging quarter.

Apogee is down 41.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $41.88 per share, it is trading 52% below its 52-week high of $87.22 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Apogee’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,780.
