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.

Hain Celestial (HAIN) Stock Trades Down, Here Is Why

HAIN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of natural food company Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) fell 25% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter 2025 results that missed Wall Street expectations. 

The company's revenue fell 13.2% year over year to $363.3 million, short of analyst forecasts. On an adjusted basis, Hain Celestial reported a loss of $0.02 per share, a significant miss compared to the $0.03 profit analysts had anticipated. Profitability was severely impacted by a $252 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and other assets, which pushed its operating margin down to negative 69.3%. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA came in at $19.9 million, 28.2% below estimates, and organic sales declined by 11%, indicating persistent struggles with consumer demand.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Hain Celestial’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 53 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Hain Celestial and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 5 days ago when the stock gained 5.7% on the news that the release of a cooler-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) report, fanned investor hopes for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the PPI, a key measure of wholesale inflation, unexpectedly declined by 0.1% in August. This contrasted sharply with economists' forecasts of a 0.3% rise and followed a revised 0.7% increase in July. 

This sign of easing inflation, combined with other recent data pointing to a weakening U.S. labor market, has convinced many investors that the central bank will lower borrowing costs. The Federal Reserve, which closely monitors inflation and employment data, is now widely expected to implement a rate cut at its meeting next week to help stimulate the economy.

Hain Celestial is down 72.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.64 per share, it is trading 82% below its 52-week high of $9.09 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Hain Celestial’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $48.79.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
