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 Sinclair (SBGI) Stock Is Falling Today

SBGI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of media broadcasting company Sinclair (NASDAQ: SBGI) fell 3.4% in the afternoon session after the stock continued to slide amid negative sentiment following its recent disappointing second-quarter earnings report. The decline appears to be continued investor disappointment following the company's weak second-quarter financial results reported earlier in August. In the quarter, Sinclair missed analyst expectations across the board. Revenue fell 5.4% year-over-year to $784 million, and the company posted a GAAP loss of $0.91 per share, a sharp reversal from the profit reported in the same period last year.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Sinclair’s shares are very volatile and have had 21 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 gained 15.8% on the news that it launched a comprehensive strategic review for its broadcast business, exploring a range of options that could lead to industry consolidation or a significant restructuring of its assets. The company’s board has authorized a review to evaluate acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and other business combinations. Sinclair is also considering separating its Ventures portfolio, which includes assets like the Tennis Channel, through a spin-off or other transaction. This move comes as media companies explore new strategies while audiences shift from traditional linear TV to streaming platforms. Sinclair's President & CEO, Chris Ripley, stated, “Scale wins in today's broadcast industry, and we intend to lead that consolidation,” signaling the company's aggressive stance on future growth and its intent to be a catalyst in the industry's evolution.

Sinclair is down 19.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $13.75 per share, it is trading 24.9% below its 52-week high of $18.32 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Sinclair’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $667.80.

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.
