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 Waters Corporation (WAT) Stock Is Up Today

WAT Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of scientific instruments company Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) jumped 1.9% in the morning session after the company provided an optimistic business update at the Wells Fargo 20th Annual Healthcare Conference. 

During the conference on September 4th, CEO Udi Batra highlighted the company's robust performance and strategic growth initiatives. Key points included strong growth across business areas, with new products like Alliance IS and TQ Absolute XR driving significant sales. Batra also noted that the company's China operations are seeing double-digit growth, led by the pharmaceutical sector. This positive outlook follows a strong second-quarter earnings report in early August, where Waters' revenue of $771.3 million surpassed analysts' expectations. The combination of a recent earnings beat and encouraging forward-looking commentary appears to be boosting investor confidence in the company's direction.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $304.91, up 1.7% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Waters Corporation’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 3 days ago when the stock dropped 2.2% on the news that the major indices continued to retreat (Nasdaq -1.5%, S&P 500 -1.2%) amid profit-taking and renewed concerns about tariffs. The decline was not specific to the company but part of a wider market sell-off, as major indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each fell by over 1%. Investor sentiment soured following the release of the ISM Manufacturing report, which indicated that U.S. manufacturing activity had contracted for the sixth consecutive month. 

Adding to the market's anxiety, a court decision ruled that most of the Trump administration's tariffs were illegal. While the tariffs remain in place pending appeal, the news pushed Treasury yields and market volatility higher, contributing to the slump in equities.

Waters Corporation is down 17.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $304.91 per share, it is trading 26.9% below its 52-week high of $417.28 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Waters Corporation’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,492.

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.
