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.

Why Dollar Tree (DLTR) Stock Is Up Today

What Happened?

Shares of discount treasure-hunt retailer Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR) jumped 3% in the pre-market session after the company received bullish updates from Wall Street analysts at Barclays and JPMorgan. 

Barclays upgraded the discount retailer to "Overweight" from "Equal Weight" and significantly raised its price target to $120 from $95. The firm cited a "cleaner growth story" following the sale of Family Dollar and noted that strong sales momentum from the first quarter has continued. Barclays anticipates Dollar Tree will benefit from consumers trading down to more economical options and from the closure of competitor stores. Adding to the positive sentiment, JPMorgan maintained its "Overweight" rating and boosted its price target on the stock to $138 from $111. The firm's analyst expressed an optimistic outlook on the company's potential for growth. These upgrades suggest growing confidence on Wall Street in Dollar Tree's strategic direction and future performance.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $113.19, up 2.8% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Dollar Tree’s shares are quite volatile and have had 19 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 11 months ago when the stock dropped 20.4% on the news that the company reported weak second-quarter earnings. Its revenue and EPS missed analysts' expectations, and it lowered its full-year revenue guidance. The company noted that the unfavorable macro environment affected the purchasing behavior of middle- and higher-income customers and this played a role in the decision to revise the financial forecasts. Overall, this was a weaker quarter.

Dollar Tree is up 48% since the beginning of the year, and at $113.19 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Dollar Tree’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,178.

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.
