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.

Etsy (ETSY) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

ETSY Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online marketplace Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) jumped 3.1% in the pre-market session after the company received positive attention from Wall Street analysts, including an upgrade from Morgan Stanley and a price target increase from UBS. 

Morgan Stanley upgraded the online marketplace's stock to "Equalweight" from "Underweight" and raised its price target to $50 from $38. The firm noted that while it maintains long-term caution, it sees a more balanced risk-to-reward profile in the near term. Adding to the positive sentiment, UBS boosted its price target on Etsy to $62 from $45, citing an improved outlook for fiscal year 2025. The bank's analysts pointed to an acceleration in monthly active users for the Etsy app and a pickup in U.S. sales as reasons for their increased estimates. These analyst actions suggest growing confidence in Etsy's ability to stabilize its Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS) growth, which is a key metric representing the total value of goods sold on the platform.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $59.28, down 0.6% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Etsy’s shares are quite volatile and have had 18 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 3 days ago when the stock gained 3.1% as the company's latest 13F filing revealed a significant increase in ownership by an institutional investor. 

Cerity Partners LLC boosted its stake in the specialty e-commerce retailer by over 211%, purchasing an additional 64,279 shares during the first quarter, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made public today. 

This purchase brought the firm's total holdings to 94,691 shares, valued at approximately $4.47 million. Such a substantial increase in a position by an institutional investor was seen as a vote of confidence in the company's future prospects, despite recent headwinds from a competitive e-commerce landscape and pressures on consumer discretionary spending., The move came even as analysts held a mixed "Hold" consensus rating on the stock.

Etsy is up 11.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $59.28 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $65.14 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Etsy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $566.41.
