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 Xponential Fitness (XPOF) Stock Is Trading Up Today

XPOF Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of boutique fitness studio franchisor Xponential Fitness (NYSE: XPOF) jumped 3.4% in the pre-market session after the company announced it had completed the divestiture of its CycleBar and Rumble brands. The fitness franchisor sold the two brands to Extraordinary Brands, LLC, as part of a strategic realignment. Xponential Fitness stated that the transaction was consistent with its plan to focus resources and capital on its more profitable brands. In a statement, CEO Mark King emphasized that the company would concentrate on brands that drove both current and long-term profitability. This move was presented as a strategic effort to improve the company's financial performance and provide better support for its core, higher-performing franchises.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $11.01, up 2.3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Xponential Fitness’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 50 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 25 days ago when the stock gained 34.1% on the news that the company announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its investigation into the company without recommending any enforcement action. 

The investigation, which began in December 2023, had been a significant overhang on the company's stock, which has fallen approximately 45% year-to-date. The probe was initiated after the SEC requested documents related to potential securities fraud and accounting issues. In a filing, Xponential stated it was informed on July 1 that the investigation was concluded and that no action would be taken. The company noted it had fully cooperated with the regulator over the past 18 months. This news removed a major cloud of uncertainty for investors, leading to a surge in confidence as reflected in the pre-market rally. 

Analysts at Jefferies noted that with the probe now cleared and new leadership in place, investor sentiment should improve, potentially allowing the stock's valuation to rise toward peer levels as the company focuses on its growth plans.

Xponential Fitness is down 21.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $11.01 per share, it is trading 40.4% below its 52-week high of $18.47 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Xponential Fitness’s shares at the IPO in July 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $898.78.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
