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 Is Impinj (PI) Stock Soaring Today

PI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of RFID manufacturer Impinj (NASDAQ: PI) jumped 5.2% in the afternoon session after Needham assigned the stock a 'Buy' rating. 

The firm also set a price target of $195.00 per share, suggesting considerable upside for the company. The new rating and target from Needham analyst James Ricchiuti contribute to an already positive sentiment among analysts covering the stock. According to recent reports, five firms now hold buy-equivalent ratings on Impinj. Needham's price target is notably higher than the median analyst target of $158.00, indicating a particularly bullish outlook on the company's prospects.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Impinj’s shares are very volatile and have had 26 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 11 days ago when the stock dropped 3% on the news that the company announced the pricing of an upsized $170 million convertible senior notes offering. 

The offering was increased from a previously announced size of $150 million. Such financing events can pressure a company's stock as the notes can be converted into common stock in the future, potentially diluting the value of existing shares. The notes have an initial conversion price of approximately $267.39 per share, which is a 37.5% premium to the stock's closing price on September 3. Impinj plans to use the proceeds to exchange $190 million of its outstanding 1.125% convertible senior notes due in 2027. Additionally, the company will use about $10 million for capped call transactions, which are intended to reduce potential dilution for shareholders upon conversion of the new notes.

Impinj is up 28.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $188.85 per share, it is still trading 20.8% below its 52-week high of $238.58 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Impinj’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $6,882.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
