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 Is Intel (INTC) Stock Soaring Today

INTC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) jumped 7.4% in the afternoon session after investor optimism picked up regarding its aggressive corporate restructuring plans and a price target hike from a Wall Street bank. 

The semiconductor giant is moving forward with a significant transformation aimed at creating a "leaner, faster, and more efficient company." This strategy includes substantial cost-cutting measures, such as layoffs at its operations in Oregon and Israel, as part of a plan to reduce its global workforce. Adding to the positive sentiment, analysts at Citigroup raised their price target on Intel's stock to $24 from $21. While maintaining a "Neutral" rating, the move signals growing confidence in the company's turnaround strategy under its new leadership. Investors appear to be betting that these decisive, albeit difficult, actions will improve efficiency and strengthen Intel's competitive position in the semiconductor market.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Intel’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 35 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 6 days ago when the stock dropped 5.1% after reports emerged that the company is considering a significant shift away from its 18A chip-making process. The potential move away from marketing its 18A process to new foundry customers signals a major pivot for the chipmaker. This technology, which has incurred billions in development costs, was intended to make Intel competitive with industry leader TSMC. A shift to the next-generation 14A process could result in a significant write-off, potentially costing hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. This news creates uncertainty around Intel's ambitious plan to become a major contract chip manufacturer for other companies.

Intel is up 16.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $23.63 per share, it is still trading 32.2% below its 52-week high of $34.87 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Intel’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $403.09.

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.
