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 Interpublic Group (IPG) Stock Is Up Today

IPG Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of global advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) jumped 4.2% in the afternoon session after the Consumer Health division of Bayer selected the company as its global agency partner for all creative, media, and production. 

The significant partnership placed Interpublic Group in charge of marketing for some of the world's most trusted self-care brands, including Aspirin and Claritin. This selection represented a new integrated agency model for Bayer, which aimed to improve its media buying power and connect with consumers through more personalized content. The deal consolidated work that was previously handled by other agencies. In other news, the company also strengthened its team by appointing a new Global President to lead its agency operations supporting Kenvue, a major consumer health company.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $28.34, up 4.5% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Interpublic Group’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 6 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 gained 3.3% on the news that a peer company, Omnicom (OMC), received an analyst upgrade from Wells Fargo tied to the nearing completion of its merger with Interpublic. 

The move on Omnicom's stock appeared to create positive sentiment for Interpublic as well. Wells Fargo upgraded Omnicom to Overweight from Equal Weight, raising its price target to $91 from $78. The analyst noted that the stock’s potential upside was compelling as the merger with Interpublic Group approached its close. This suggests growing confidence in the strategic benefits of the combination. 

The bank's research note also pointed to long-term strength in the media advertising sector, dismissing some long-held concerns about the industry's future. Investors seemingly interpreted the positive outlook for the combined firm as a good sign for Interpublic ahead of the deal's finalization.

Interpublic Group is flat since the beginning of the year, and at $28.34 per share, it is trading 11.6% below its 52-week high of $32.06 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Interpublic Group’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,700.

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.
