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 Himax (HIMX) Stock Is Up Today

HIMX Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of semiconductor maker Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX) jumped 5.5% in the afternoon session after the stock joined a broad rally among semiconductor companies following remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that sparked hopes for interest rate cuts. The positive sentiment spread across the chip sector after Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium. Further momentum came from the Chinese stock market, where the semiconductor sector was among the leading gainers, with some indices hitting multi-year highs. This market-driven upswing marks a reversal for Himax, which saw its stock drop in pre-market trading the previous day after reporting mixed Q2 2025 earnings results. The current rally appears to be driven by these broader macroeconomic tailwinds rather than recent company-specific performance.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Himax’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 41 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 biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 6 months ago when the stock gained 14.4% on the news that the company reported strong fourth quarter 2024 results, with revenue rising 6.7% sequentially and 4.2% y/y, exceeding Wall Street's estimates. Operating income rose sharply to 9.7% of sales from 2.6% in the prior quarter, contributing to a solid earnings beat. Looking ahead, the company guided for an 8.5% to 12.5% sequential revenue decline in Q1, citing seasonality from the Lunar New Year holiday. However, revenue is expected to remain flat or grow up to 4.6% y/y, with gross margins holding steady. EPS guidance also implies a substantial y/y increase of 26% to 54%, signaling continued profitability improvements. Overall, this was a decent quarter.

Himax is up 5.5% since the beginning of the year, but at $7.90 per share, it is still trading 38.6% below its 52-week high of $12.85 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Himax’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,045.

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.
