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 TPI Composites (TPIC) Stock Is Up Today

TPIC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of global wind blade manufacturer TPI Composites (NASDAQ: TPIC) jumped 3.3% in the morning session after the stock experienced a technical rebound following a period of significant selling pressure spurred by recent analyst downgrades. 

The wind blade manufacturer's stock has been under considerable strain, falling after a TD Cowen downgrade to "Hold" from "Buy" on July 8, which cited concerns over the company's debt load and policy risks. Analysts have highlighted the potential phasing out of key Production Tax Credits after 2027 as a significant future challenge for the company. The stock's morning gains appear to be a relief rally after the sharp decline. 

Adding to this perspective, data indicates that short interest in TPI Composites has recently seen a decrease, suggesting a slight improvement in investor sentiment. While recent analyst ratings have been cautious, some acknowledge that the company has secured production volumes through 2025, which is expected to provide some near-term stability.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $0.77, up 4.2% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

TPI Composites’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 109 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 previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock dropped 7.8% on the news that the stock continued its slide following a recent analyst downgrade and persistent concerns over the company's debt. The negative sentiment follows a downgrade from TD Cowen on July 8, which lowered its rating on the wind blade manufacturer to "Hold" from "Buy" and slashed its price target in half to $1.00. The firm cited significant worries about the company's heavy debt load and the lack of a clear plan for deleveraging. 

Adding to the pressure, Jefferies maintained its "Sell" rating on July 11 with a price target of just $0.70. Analysts have pointed to the company's high leverage and potential liquidity issues as major challenges. These concerns are compounded by broader policy risks, such as the potential phasing out of key Production Tax Credits after 2027, which could create a "demand cliff" for the company's products.

TPI Composites is down 56.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $0.77 per share, it is trading 84.7% below its 52-week high of $5.03 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of TPI Composites’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $29.37.
