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 Torrid (CURV) Stock Is Up Today

CURV Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of women’s plus-size apparel retailer Torrid Holdings (NYSE: CURV) jumped 4.7% in the afternoon session after it showed signs of a potential turnaround fueled by positive analyst sentiment and improved financial flexibility. This move comes despite the stock having declined over 23% in the past month, pushing it into what some analysts consider oversold territory. Fueling the optimism is a strong consensus among Wall Street analysts, who have been raising their earnings estimates for the current year. Over the last 30 days, the consensus Earnings Per Share (EPS) estimate for Torrid has increased by 5.9%. This upward trend in earnings revisions is often seen as a precursor to potential price appreciation.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $2.22, up 3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Torrid’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 57 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 5 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that markets continued to rally amid growing investor optimism for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. This optimism was spurred by a recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) report that did not show runaway inflation, increasing the perceived probability of a rate cut to over 90%. Lower interest rates are generally seen as a positive for the economy as they reduce borrowing costs for consumers, which can stimulate spending on non-essential goods. Consequently, investors bid up shares in the apparel, home furnishings, and automotive retail industries in anticipation of stronger consumer demand.

Torrid is down 58% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.22 per share, it is trading 68.6% below its 52-week high of $7.06 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Torrid’s shares at the IPO in June 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $91.72.

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.
