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.

WBTN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of digital storytelling platform WEBTOON (NASDAQ: WBTN) jumped 80.6% in the afternoon session after the company announced a strategic partnership with Disney and reported better-than-expected second-quarter results. 

The online comic platform announced a major multi-year partnership with Disney to bring approximately 100 titles from iconic brands like Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios to its vertical-scroll app. This deal is expected to significantly boost Webtoon's content library and engage its global user base. 

Adding to the bullish sentiment, the company also reported strong second-quarter financial results, posting a surprise profit of $0.07 per share, where analysts had anticipated a loss. Revenue also beat expectations, rising 8.5% year-over-year to $348.3 million. In response to the news, analysts at firms like Evercore ISI and Goldman Sachs raised their price targets on the stock, signaling confidence in the company's growth trajectory following the Disney partnership.

What Is The Market Telling Us

WEBTOON’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 37 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for WEBTOON and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that a key inflation report met expectations, bolstering hopes for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, while a separate report indicated rising optimism among small businesses. The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed annual inflation holding steady at 2.7%, aligning with forecasts and increasing the probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut to over 94%. Lower interest rates can stimulate the economy by making it cheaper for businesses to borrow and invest. Further boosting confidence, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index rose to a five-month high. This is a crucial indicator for the Business Services sector, as many of its companies cater to small and medium-sized enterprises. The combined positive data fueled a broad, "risk-on" sentiment, where investors favor economically sensitive sectors, leading to gains across IT services, staffing, and manufacturing.

WEBTOON is up 20.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $16.40 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of WEBTOON’s shares at the IPO in June 2024 would now be looking at an investment worth $712.61.

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.
