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 Mission Produce (AVO) Shares Are Sliding Today

AVO Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of avocado company Mission Produce (NASDAQ: AVO) fell 7% in the morning session after the company reported third-quarter results that beat profit expectations but provided a weak forecast for avocado prices. 

While the company posted earnings per share of $0.26, doubling the consensus estimate of $0.13, the positive result was overshadowed by its forward-looking guidance. Mission Produce management stated they expect avocado pricing to be approximately 20% to 25% lower in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year. The company attributed the anticipated price decline to higher avocado volumes being available in both U.S. and international markets, a trend confirmed by reports of increased supply from key producers in Mexico and Peru. This weaker pricing outlook is raising investor concerns about the company's future profitability, despite the strong quarterly earnings beat.

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 Mission Produce? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Mission Produce’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock gained 6.7% on the news that the company reported strong second-quarter financial results that surpassed Wall Street's expectations. The company's performance was driven by a 10% increase in avocado sales volume. This led to an adjusted profit of $0.26 per share, a 13% increase from the previous year and significantly beating analyst estimates by $0.11. Further demonstrating its financial health, Mission Produce reported adjusted EBITDA (a measure of profitability) of $32.6 million, while its gross profit margin improved by 120 basis points year-on-year to 12.6%. The positive results were attributed to the company's vertically integrated model and its ability to maintain a consistent, year-round supply.

Mission Produce is down 15.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $11.97 per share, it is trading 17.2% below its 52-week high of $14.45 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Mission Produce’s shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $867.39.

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.
