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.

Why Agilysys (AGYS) Shares Are Falling Today

AGYS Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of hospitality industry software provider Agilysys (NASDAQ: AGYS) fell 9.8% in the morning session after the company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street estimates. 

The hospitality software provider announced adjusted earnings of 33 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 39 cents. This occurred despite the company posting record quarterly revenue of $76.7 million, which surpassed forecasts. The mixed results highlighted a significant drop in profitability, as net income fell to $4.9 million from $14.1 million in the same quarter of the previous year. While the company saw strong growth in its recurring subscription revenue, which climbed 44.3% year-over-year, its gross margin slightly declined. The combination of rising sales but sharply lower profits appeared to concern investors, leading to the significant pre-market sell-off.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Agilysys? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Agilysys’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 13 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 6 days ago when the stock gained 5.3% on the news that the New York State Common Retirement Fund disclosed it had significantly increased its stake in the company. According to a recent 13F filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, the fund boosted its holdings in the hospitality software maker by 36.6% during the first quarter. The purchase of an additional 99,577 shares brought its total position to 371,428 shares, representing about 1.33% of the company. This move signals growing confidence from large institutional investors. It follows a trend of other major funds increasing their positions in Agilysys, which provides software-enabled solutions for the hospitality industry. The news comes ahead of the company's scheduled first-quarter earnings release on July 21, 2025.

Agilysys is down 18.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $105.66 per share, it is trading 25.5% below its 52-week high of $141.74 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Agilysys’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $5,705.
