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.

Medpace (MEDP) Stock Trades Down, Here Is Why

MEDP Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of clinical research company Medpace Holdings (NASDAQ: MEDP) fell 7.5% in the afternoon session after an analyst at TD Cowen downgraded the stock to "Sell" from "Hold," citing valuation concerns following a massive rally in the previous session. 

The downgrade came just one day after Medpace's stock surged approximately 55% on the back of strong second-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $603.3 million and earnings per share of $3.10, beating forecasts. 

However, the TD Cowen analyst suggested the prior day's dramatic price increase was primarily due to short covering—where investors who bet against a stock are forced to buy shares to close their positions—rather than fundamental business improvements. Despite raising the price target to $366 from $283, the firm expressed concern that Medpace's shares appeared overvalued relative to its expected growth. The analyst noted that while the outlook for bookings and revenue had improved, the current valuation was too high. This assessment overshadowed the strong quarterly results and the company's increased full-year guidance, prompting a pullback in the stock.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Medpace’s shares are quite volatile and have had 17 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 1 day ago when the stock gained 49.3% on the news that the company reported strong second-quarter financial results and raised its full-year guidance. The company announced its second-quarter results, revealing revenue of $603.3 million, a 14.2% increase from the prior-year period. Earnings per share also grew, coming in at $3.10. Following the strong performance, Medpace raised its full-year 2025 revenue forecast to a range of $2.42 billion to $2.52 billion. It also increased its earnings per share guidance for the year to a range of $13.76 to $14.53. This positive outlook, which surpassed previous forecasts, appeared to fuel significant investor optimism. 

Medpace is up 29.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $434.75 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $477.73 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Medpace’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,926.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. 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. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
