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 Acadia Healthcare (ACHC) Shares Are Sliding Today

ACHC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of behavioral health company Acadia Healthcare (NASDAQ: ACHC) fell 6.8% in the morning session after BofA Securities downgraded the stock to 'Neutral' from 'Buy' and lowered its price target. The downgrade came from BofA Securities analyst Joanna Gajuk. In addition to the rating change, the firm also reduced its price target on Acadia Healthcare's shares to $25.00 from the previous target of $27.00. An analyst downgrade can signal a more cautious outlook on a company's future performance to the market, often prompting a negative reaction from investors.

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 Acadia Healthcare? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Acadia Healthcare’s shares are quite volatile and have had 19 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 2 days ago when the stock dropped 3% on the news that it was announced the company will be removed from the S&P MidCap 400 index. The change, announced by S&P Dow Jones Indices as part of its quarterly rebalancing, will be effective before the market opens on September 22. Nutanix is set to replace Acadia Healthcare in the index. Removal from a major index is typically viewed negatively by investors because it triggers forced selling from index funds that track the S&P MidCap 400. These funds must sell their holdings in the departing company to align their portfolios with the index's new composition, creating downward pressure on the stock price.

Acadia Healthcare is down 46.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $21.79 per share, it is trading 72.5% below its 52-week high of $79.34 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Acadia Healthcare’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $755.37.
