About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Energizer (ENR) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

ENR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of battery and lighting company Energizer (NYSE: ENR) jumped 5.4% in the afternoon session after the release of strong U.S. economic data that pointed to a resilient consumer, lifting stocks across the consumer staples sector. The broader market rallied after new data showed unexpected strength in the U.S. economy, easing investor concerns about a potential recession. Reports indicated that consumer spending at retailers was stronger than anticipated, and unemployment claims fell, signaling a steady job market. This combination of robust retail sales and a solid labor market suggests consumers have more capacity for spending on household goods. For a company like Energizer, which manufactures essential items like batteries, this is a positive sign of stable demand. 

Also, the second quarter (2025) earnings season got off to a strong start. Quarterly earnings reports released during the week exceeded Wall Street's expectations, fueling investor confidence. Around 50 S&P 500 components reported, with 88% of those exceeding analysts' expectations, FactSet data revealed.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Energizer’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 8 months ago when the stock gained 13.1% on the news that the company reported impressive third-quarter results, which beat Wall Street's organic revenue and EBITDA estimates. The top-line growth was broad-based, with increased volume in the Battery and Auto Care segments. This helped the company's growth narrative as sales growth turned slightly positive. Looking ahead, the company provided encouraging guidance, forecasting fiscal 2025 organic revenue growth of 1% to 2%. Adjusted EBITDA for the same period also came in ahead of Wall Street's expectations. Overall, this was an impressive quarter, highlighting top and bottom-line improvements.

Energizer is down 33.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $23.15 per share, it is trading 41.2% below its 52-week high of $39.39 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Energizer’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $458.55.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
