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.

Remitly, Chegg, Lyft, eHealth, and Fiverr Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the pre-market session after markets rebounded following a sharp sell-off in the previous trading session, as a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September. 

The July Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report revealed a significant slowdown in the labor market, with the economy adding only 73,000 jobs, well below the anticipated 110,000. Furthermore, data for May and June was revised downwards, indicating 250,000 fewer jobs were created than initially reported. This weaker economic data has led investors to increase their bets on a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a rate cut in September has surged to over 80%. Lower interest rates are generally seen as a positive for growth-oriented stocks, as they can boost economic activity and increase the present value of future earnings, fueling broad-based rallies in sectors like technology.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Chegg (CHGG)

Chegg’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 97 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 5 months ago when the stock dropped 32.1% on the news that the company reported weak fourth-quarter 2024 results, as both its number of users and services subscribers fell short of Wall Street's estimates, which is never a good look. Revenue plunged 24%, with subscription sales down 23%, highlighting the struggle to keep and attract customers. Despite aggressive cost-cutting, adjusted EBITDA dropped 45% year-on-year. The swing from a profit last year to a $6.1 million net loss this quarter adds to the concerns. Management pointed to Google's AI Overviews feature as a major issue, saying it's pulling traffic away from Chegg and hurting sales. 

The company planned to take legal action. And the outlook for Q1 2025? Not great, as lower-than-expected sales and EBITDA guidance suggest the pain isn't over yet. Overall, this quarter was mediocre, and with the market fearing that this company is toast due to AI, a big move makes sense.

Chegg is down 18.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.37 per share, it is trading 53.2% below its 52-week high of $2.93 from August 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Chegg’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $16.08.

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.
