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.

Asana and AppLovin Stocks Trade Down, What You Need To Know

ASAN Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the release of a much weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report, which overshadowed hopes for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut by fueling concerns about the health of the economy. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that employers added only 22,000 jobs in August, significantly below the 75,000 economists had forecasted. Additionally, the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, its highest level since 2021. While poor economic data often increases the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting its benchmark interest rate to stimulate growth, the sharp slowdown in the labor market appears to have spooked investors. 

The concern is that the weak hiring is a sign of a more pronounced economic downturn, which could negatively impact corporate profits. This fear has led to a "flight to safety," with investors selling stocks and buying government bonds, pushing Treasury yields to their lowest levels in months.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Asana (ASAN)

Asana’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 36 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 1 day ago when the stock gained 1.9% on the news that the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2025 financial results and raised its full-year guidance. 

The company announced quarterly revenue of $196.9 million, a nearly 10% year-over-year increase that surpassed analyst estimates of approximately $193 million. The work management platform provider also reported a significant improvement in profitability, posting non-GAAP earnings of six cents per share, which beat expectations of five cents. This marks a notable turnaround from the loss recorded in the same period last year. The company's operating margin also showed substantial year-over-year improvement. 

Looking ahead, Asana raised its full-year guidance for both revenue and adjusted earnings per share, signaling confidence in its continued growth and path to profitability.

Asana is down 32.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $13.47 per share, it is trading 51.1% below its 52-week high of $27.52 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Asana’s shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $467.53.

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.
