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 Lyft (LYFT) Stock Is Trading Up Today

LYFT Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of ride sharing service Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT) jumped 4.4% in the morning session after an analyst highlighted the potential benefits of pending legislation in California. 

An analyst from Bernstein pointed to two key bills, noting that one piece of legislation, SB 371, could lower the required uninsured motorist coverage for drivers. The firm estimated this change could reduce Lyft's costs by nearly 30% of its projected 2026 EBITDA. The analyst also sees the potential for roughly 6% trip growth in California as a result. While another bill could lead to higher labor costs, the prospect of significant cost savings appears to be driving investor optimism. This positive sentiment is further supported by the company's improving financial health, which includes a significant 23.7 percentage point jump in free cash flow margin over the last few years and a 10.3% average annual increase in Active Riders.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $19.42, up 4.4% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Lyft’s shares are very volatile and have had 24 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 5 days ago when the stock gained 4% on the news that the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report came in softer than expected, fueling speculation of an imminent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index, a measure of wholesale inflation, unexpectedly fell by 0.1% in August, contrasting with forecasts of a 0.3% rise. This sign of cooling inflation has significantly increased market expectations for a policy shift from the central bank. 

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 25-basis point rate cut at the Federal Reserve's next meeting has surged to 90%. Lower interest rates typically reduce borrowing costs for companies and can stimulate economic activity, which investors view as a positive catalyst for stock market performance, particularly for growth-sensitive tech stocks.

Lyft is up 42.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $19.42 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Lyft’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $642.24.

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.
