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.

Nubank (NU) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

NU Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of digital banking platform Nubank (NYSE: NU) jumped 1.7% in the afternoon session after a series of positive analyst actions and reports of a potential billion-dollar acquisition. 

The positive momentum follows a recent price target increase from Susquehanna, which raised its target to $17.00 while maintaining a Positive rating. This is the latest in a string of favorable analyst updates, including recent upgrades from Citigroup and Banco Bradesco BBI. Adding to the bullish sentiment, reports surfaced that Nubank is exploring a billion-dollar acquisition of Brubank, which could significantly expand its presence in the Argentine digital market. This optimism is supported by the company's strong fundamentals, having grown its customer base by 17% to 123 million over the last year and increased its net income by 38% to nearly $1.2 billion in the first half of 2025.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $14.80, up 1.2% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Nubank’s shares are very volatile and have had 20 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 3 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that the company received a price target increase from BofA Securities, which cited improving profitability trends. BofA Securities increased its price target on the digital banking company to $16 from $14, while maintaining a Neutral rating. The firm noted that investors were encouraged by Nu's recent second-quarter results, specifically pointing to an expansion in its net interest margin, which suggests improving profitability after three quarters of decline. 

Analysts also highlighted positive asset quality trends, which could pave the way for stronger loan growth in the future. The positive sentiment builds on a recent upgrade from Citi, which on August 19 raised its rating on the stock from Sell to Buy and doubled its price target to $18, citing a string of strong quarterly performances despite macroeconomic headwinds.

Nubank is up 39.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $14.80 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $15.89 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Nubank’s shares at the IPO in December 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $1,433.

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.
