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 Scholastic (SCHL) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

SCHL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of educational publishing and media company Scholastic (NASDAQ: SCHL) fell 11.3% in the morning session after the company reported weak third-quarter results that missed Wall Street's expectations for both revenue and earnings. 

The children's publisher announced revenue of $225.6 million, a decline of 4.9% year on year and a miss on analyst estimates. Its adjusted loss per share also widened to $2.52, which was worse than both the consensus forecast and the loss from the same quarter last year. The company's profitability also deteriorated, with its operating margin contracting and its cash burn increasing significantly compared to the prior year. 

While Scholastic did beat expectations for adjusted EBITDA and offered full-year guidance slightly ahead of estimates, these positives were overshadowed by the misses on the top and bottom lines. Overall, the softer-than-expected quarter prompted a negative reaction from investors.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Scholastic’s shares are very volatile and have had 20 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Scholastic and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 14 days ago when the stock gained 5% after reports of a positive consensus rating from Wall Street analysts. The children's publishing, education, and media company currently holds a "Buy" consensus rating, according to three financial analysts. This collective positive outlook suggests that market experts see potential for the stock's value to increase. Such ratings often influence investor sentiment and can be a catalyst for stock price movements, reflecting confidence in the company's financial health and future prospects.

Scholastic is up 15.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $24.38 per share, it is still trading 23.9% below its 52-week high of $32.04 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Scholastic’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,174.

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.
