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.

Bloom Energy (BE) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

BE Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of electricity generation and hydrogen production company Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) jumped 5.5% in the afternoon session after an analyst at BTIG significantly raised the company's price target, pointing to soaring power demand from the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. 

BTIG maintained its Buy rating on Bloom Energy while lifting its price target to $80 from $42. The firm highlighted that the rapid buildout of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers is straining U.S. power supply chains, extending lead times for traditional equipment by 2-3 years. This creates a significant opportunity for Bloom's fuel cells, which can be deployed rapidly to meet urgent power needs. This bullish sentiment echoes recent upgrades from other Wall Street analysts. Morgan Stanley recently increased its target to $85, citing a "massive inflection in demand" following Bloom's deal to supply on-site power for Oracle's AI data centers. To capitalize on this demand, Bloom is expanding its Fremont facility to increase production capacity. While the stock has rallied on the AI hype, some analysts remain cautious, pointing to the company's stretched valuation.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Bloom Energy’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 68 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 3 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that a key inflation data aligned with forecasts, bolstering hopes for continued interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. 

The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, the central bank's preferred gauge of inflation, showed a slight year-over-year increase in August but did not surprise economists. This report was met with relief on Wall Street, as it suggests inflationary pressures remain contained, giving the Federal Reserve more leeway to continue its monetary easing policy. Investors interpreted the news as a positive sign that the Fed can support the economy without risking runaway inflation. The positive sentiment helped the major indices claw back some of the losses from a recent three-day slide, with stocks rising across various sectors.

Bloom Energy is up 217% since the beginning of the year, but at $73.97 per share, it is still trading 14.3% below its 52-week high of $86.27 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bloom Energy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $4,382.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
