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.

NNBR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of industrial components supplier NN (NASDAQ: NNBR) jumped 8.3% in the morning session after the company's stock gained ground amid a broader market rally as investors awaited a busy week of corporate earnings reports. There was no significant, company-specific news to explain the stock's jump. Instead, the move higher came as U.S. stock futures pointed to a stronger open for the major indices, suggesting a "risk-on" mood among investors helped lift shares across various sectors. 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.Investors were also likely looking ahead to NN's second-quarter 2025 earnings results, expected to be released around August 6th.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $2.04, up 2.8% from previous close.

NN’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 59 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 6 months ago when the stock gained 20.2% on the news that the company reported impressive preliminary guidance, with full-year 2024 new business wins expected to exceed the high end of its previous guidance. Management added, "We will continue this pace of new business acquisition into 2025 and 2026 and have a $720 million pipeline to support it. 2025 is off to a great start with the simultaneous launch of fifty [50] new programs during the first quarter."

NN is down 35.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.04 per share, it is trading 52.1% below its 52-week high of $4.25 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of NN’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $383.24.
