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 Astronics (ATRO) Stock Is Falling Today

ATRO Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense technology solutions provider Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO) fell 3.1% in the morning session after the stock appeared to pull back as some investors took profits following a recent run-up in share price. 

The aerospace and defense technology provider’s stock had recently shown positive momentum, crossing above its 200-day moving average the previous day. The company also announced the release of a new communications system analyzer for Land Mobile Radio testing, building on its previous technology. However, this positive news was not enough to sustain the upward trend, as the stock gave back some of its recent gains in the morning's trading session. The move came in the absence of any significant negative company-specific news or broader market events.

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 Astronics? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Astronics’s shares are very volatile and have had 24 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 8 days ago when the stock dropped 3% as the stock appeared to be taking a breather as investors engaged in profit-taking following a significant rally in the prior trading session. 

The stock surged over 16% earlier after Truist Securities upgraded its rating to "Buy" from "Hold" and substantially raised its price target to $49 from $32. The upgrade was driven by the company's growing business with Boeing's 737 MAX program. Despite the recent optimism, some analysts point to underlying concerns. A recent report highlighted the company's "elevated debt levels and stagnant near-term earnings estimate revisions" as potential risks for investors. This morning's downturn may reflect some investors cashing in on the recent gains, possibly weighing the bullish analyst outlook against these cautionary notes.

Astronics is up 114% since the beginning of the year, and at $33.81 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $36.11 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Astronics’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,652.
