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.

What Happened?

Shares of data protection and security software company Varonis (NASDAQ: VRNS) jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after analyst Jefferies upgraded the stock to Buy from Hold, raising its price target to $65 from $50. 

The investment firm cited robust cybersecurity spending and Varonis's key position in the data governance market. Data governance, which involves managing and securing a company's sensitive information, became increasingly vital as generative AI adoption grew. Jefferies' analyst note also highlighted Varonis as a favorite stock for the second half of 2025, viewing it as a way to invest in AI within the cybersecurity space. The positive sentiment was echoed by Baird, which also raised its price target to $58 and maintained an "Outperform" rating on the stock.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $53.21, up 2.7% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Varonis’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 9 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock gained 3.3% on the news that Wells Fargo raised its price target on the company's stock to $51 from $46, while maintaining an Equal Weight rating. The bank's analyst noted that the Data Protection market is gaining momentum, partly due to the rollout of Agentic AI technologies, which could benefit Varonis in the long term. Wells Fargo indicated that after speaking with larger resellers, it had developed "a more constructive view on the outlook for Varonis.".

Varonis is up 20% since the beginning of the year, but at $53.21 per share, it is still trading 11.3% below its 52-week high of $59.98 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Varonis’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,570.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
