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 Shake Shack (SHAK) Shares Are Falling Today

SHAK Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of fast-food chain Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK) fell 12.9% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat analyst estimates but provided a weaker-than-expected outlook. 

The burger chain posted better-than-expected second-quarter profit and revenue. However, investors looked past the headline numbers and focused on weaker underlying trends. Same-Shack sales, which track revenue from stores open for at least a year, grew 1.8%. This figure missed analyst expectations of 2.2% growth and represented a slowdown from the prior year. Additionally, the company provided a revenue forecast for the third quarter that fell short of Wall Street's estimates, raising concerns about future performance. The disappointing outlook arrived as broader economic reports showed rising inflation, which fueled worries that consumers might cut back on discretionary spending like dining out.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Shake Shack’s shares are very volatile and have had 27 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Shake Shack and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock gained 19.4% on the news that the company reported strong second-quarter earnings. Shake Shack blew past analysts' gross margin expectations. Its revenue and EBITDA also outperformed Wall Street's estimates. The results also benefit from the company's expansion drive, as it launched 12 new company-operated Shacks during the quarter. Overall, this was a really good quarter that should please shareholders.

Shake Shack is down 6.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $124.48 per share, it is trading 12.4% below its 52-week high of $142.03 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Shake Shack’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,562.
