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 Commercial Vehicle Group (CVGI) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

CVGI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of vehicle systems manufacturer Commercial Vehicle Group (NASDAQ: CVGI) fell 3.6% in the morning session after the company was dropped from the S&P Global BMI Index. 

Removal from a major index like the S&P Global BMI (Broad Market Index) typically creates selling pressure on a stock. This is because many investment funds, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds, are structured to automatically track the composition of an index. When a company is removed, these funds are required to sell their holdings of the stock to align their portfolios with the index's new makeup. This wave of forced selling from passive funds often leads to a drop in the stock's price, irrespective of the company's own performance or outlook.

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 Commercial Vehicle Group? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Commercial Vehicle Group’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 70 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 12 days ago when the stock gained 2.7% on the news that an unexpected drop in the Producer Price Index (PPI) for August, signaled easing inflation and raised expectations for a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the PPI, which measures wholesale prices, edged down 0.1% last month, contrary to analyst expectations for a 0.3% rise. This data gives the Federal Reserve more flexibility to consider lowering interest rates to stimulate the economy. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a quarter-point rate cut at the next Fed meeting has surged to 90%. Lower interest rates typically benefit the industrial sector by reducing borrowing costs for new projects and expansion, potentially leading to increased economic activity and demand for industrial goods.

Commercial Vehicle Group is down 25.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.73 per share, it is trading 50.4% below its 52-week high of $3.49 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Commercial Vehicle Group’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $345.31.

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.
