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 European Wax Center (EWCZ) Stock Is Falling Today

What Happened?

Shares of beauty and waxing service franchise European Wax Center (NASDAQ: EWCZ) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the company announced a shake-up in its executive leadership team, appointing a new Chief Operating Officer and Chief Development Officer. European Wax Center named Angela Jaskolski as its new COO and Kurt Smith as Chief Development Officer. Jaskolski previously served as Chief Store Officer at hair care brand Madison Reed, while Smith comes from Yum! Brands, where he was a Vice President and General Manager for Pizza Hut. The appointments are part of a broader strategy to enhance operations and drive growth. The stock's decline may reflect investor reaction to the management changes during what the company has called a "transitional year." European Wax Center is facing a challenging consumer environment for discretionary spending and plans to close between 40 and 60 centers in 2025. The leadership overhaul introduces new variables as the company works to stabilize its franchisee network and return to net unit growth.

The shares closed the day at $5.02, down 2.6% from previous close.

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 European Wax Center? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

European Wax Center’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 48 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 biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 2 months ago when the stock gained 14.7% on the news that 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.

European Wax Center is down 21.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $5.02 per share, it is trading 49.3% below its 52-week high of $9.90 from July 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 $234.69.

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.
