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.

ChargePoint (CHPT) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

CHPT Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of EV charging solutions provider ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE: CHPT) jumped 4% in the morning session after the stock benefited from a positive mood in the broader market and specific optimism within the electric vehicle sector. There was no major company-specific news released to account for the move. However, the EV charging sector received a boost after competitor Blink Charging announced an expanded collaboration in Europe to increase its charging infrastructure. This type of expansion highlights the growing demand for EV charging solutions. Also, investors were expecting a heavy slate of earnings reports from major companies during the week. Notably, the earnings season got off to a strong start: More than 85% of the S&P 500 stocks that reported earnings exceeded expectations, according to FactSet data. This robust performance fueled positive sentiment, suggesting that corporate profitability remained resilient despite ongoing economic uncertainties.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $0.62, down 0.6% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

ChargePoint’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 68 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 8 months ago when the stock gained 22.1% on the news that the company reported strong third-quarter results that exceeded analysts' revenue and EBITDA estimates. While sales declined year on year in the Networked charging systems business, the result came in well ahead of consensus estimates, indicating expectations were modest heading into earnings. However, the top line also benefited from strong double-digit growth in the subscription segment, which is more promising. 

On the other hand, its full-year operating income guidance was lowered, showing that the growth is less profitable than expected. The market seems to be focusing more on the top-line successes, and the stock is up as a result.

ChargePoint is down 44.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $0.62 per share, it is trading 71.6% below its 52-week high of $2.19 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of ChargePoint’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $61.33.

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.
