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 Lovesac (LOVE) Stock Is Falling Today

LOVE Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of furniture company Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) fell 14% in the morning session after the company reported mixed second-quarter financial results and issued a weak financial outlook. 

The furniture company's revenue of $160.5 million was in line with expectations, and its GAAP loss per share of $0.45 significantly beat Wall Street's estimates. However, investors focused on the company's disappointing forecast. Lovesac's guidance for third-quarter and full-year EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) both fell short of analysts' expectations. Additionally, the company's full-year earnings per share guidance missed consensus estimates by over 21%. The weak outlook, suggesting pressure on future profitability, appeared to outweigh the second-quarter earnings beat and led to a sharp sell-off in the stock.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Lovesac’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 34 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Lovesac and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was about 23 hours ago when the stock gained 5.7% on the news that a confluence of positive economic data suggested a healthy outlook for consumer spending. Key indicators are boosting investor optimism. Financial markets are anticipating a September interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve following a cooling job market report. A rate cut typically lowers borrowing costs for consumers, potentially increasing disposable income for spending on non-essential goods. Further bolstering this outlook, the latest Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of inflation, edged down 0.1% in August. This suggests inflation is moderating, which helps preserve consumer purchasing power. Additionally, major U.S. banks have reported that consumers remain financially healthy, with spending holding steady and credit quality remaining solid, creating a supportive backdrop for consumer-focused companies.

Lovesac is down 24.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $18.13 per share, it is trading 53.1% below its 52-week high of $38.64 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Lovesac’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $685.96.
