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 Denny's (DENN) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

DENN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of diner restaurant chain Denny’s (NASDAQ: DENN) fell 5.6% in the afternoon session after the company reported weak second-quarter 2025 results that missed analyst estimates and revealed a decline in sales at its core brand. The restaurant chain posted earnings per share of $0.09, which missed the $0.11 consensus estimate and marked a nearly 31% drop from the previous year. A key concern for investors was the 1.3% decline in same-restaurant sales at its namesake Denny's locations, which signaled ongoing brand pressure. During the earnings call, CEO Kelli Valade attributed the weakness to a "very choppy consumer environment" where households reduced spending. The company also faced shrinking profit margins due to rising ingredient costs. In response to the results, Piper Sandler kept a "Neutral" rating on the stock but slashed its price target to $4.00 from $6.00.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Denny’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 37 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 8 days ago when the stock gained 3.1% on the news that the company announced it was considering a plan to refinance its existing debt. The restaurant operator stated that the potential transactions would refinance nearly all of its existing debt, which was due in August 2026. At the end of the first quarter, Denny's reported total debt of $276.2 million. Such a move was likely viewed favorably by investors as it could lead to better terms and increased financial flexibility for the company. Adding to the positive sentiment, recent filings showed that institutional investors like Envestnet Asset Management had increased their holdings in the company, signaling growing confidence in the stock.

Denny's is down 45.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.44 per share, it is trading 53.5% below its 52-week high of $7.39 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Denny’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $372.56.

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.
