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 Paramount (PSKY) Stock Is Up Today

PSKY Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of multinational media and entertainment corporation Paramount (NASDAQ: PARA) jumped 3.1% in the afternoon session after the company announced a major film deal with Microsoft-owned Activision to bring the popular “Call of Duty” video game franchise to the big screen. 

Under the agreement, Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on the iconic first-person shooter series. The media company stated it aims to deliver an "unforgettable cinematic event" for fans of the video game and new audiences alike. Paramount CEO David Ellison, a self-described lifelong fan of the franchise, emphasized the company's commitment to honoring the brand's legacy. He stated, “We’re approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick.” The partnership aims to leverage the massive intellectual property of "Call of Duty," which has been a major franchise since 2003.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $14.88, up 2.9% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Paramount’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 9 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock dropped 5.7% on the news that analysts at Morgan Stanley and Guggenheim expressed a more cautious outlook on the media company's shares. Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on the stock to $10 from $12, while maintaining its 'Underweight' rating. The investment bank noted that the shares currently trade at a valuation above its peers, which it considers elevated relative to its forecast for "flattish" adjusted operating income growth through 2028. Adding to the negative sentiment, Guggenheim downgraded Paramount Skydance from 'Buy' to 'Neutral.' These actions from Wall Street analysts suggest growing concerns about the company's valuation and future performance.

Paramount is up 40.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $14.88 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $16.03 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Paramount’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $526.55.

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.
