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.

GWRE Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of insurance software provider Guidewire Software (NYSE: GWRE) jumped 17.3% in the morning session after the company reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed analyst estimates. 

The company posted quarterly revenue of $356.6 million, up 22.3% year-on-year, and adjusted earnings of $0.84 per share, beating Wall Street's expectations by 5.8% and 33.3%, respectively. 

A key highlight was the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR), which grew to $1.03 billion. This growth was fueled by the company's successful transition to a subscription-based cloud model. Guidewire also issued strong revenue guidance for the upcoming third quarter, projecting sales about 5.3% higher than analysts had anticipated. The impressive results were further supported by a significant jump in operating margin, which rose to 8.3% from 3.5% in the same quarter last year, demonstrating increased efficiency.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Guidewire Software’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 9 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Guidewire Software and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 16.2% on the news that the company reported impressive first-quarter 2025 (Fiscal Q3 '25) results, which blew past most of the key metrics we track including billings, annual recurring revenue, EPS, and adjusted operating income. 

In addition, quarterly revenue guidance outperformed Wall Street's estimates. What really stood out was subscription revenue, which rose 32%, showing that more customers are signing up and sticking around. That helped push sales up by 22%, a strong pace for a company this size. Margins also got a lift. With expenses held in check, operating income more than doubled on a non-GAAP basis. That efficiency boost powered a big jump in earnings per share, which more than tripled year-over-year. Management also raised revenue and operating income targets for the year, and guided to stronger-than-expected results in the fourth quarter. Overall, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside.

Guidewire Software is up 51.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $256.60 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $257.37 from June 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Guidewire Software’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,326.

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.
