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.

The Top 5 Analyst Questions From Moderna’s Q1 Earnings Call

MRNA Cover Image

Moderna’s first quarter results were met with a negative market reaction, as revenue fell short of Wall Street expectations and declined sharply versus the prior year. Management attributed the performance primarily to the seasonal nature of respiratory vaccine sales and lower overall COVID vaccination rates, which have become more routine rather than urgent. CEO Stephane Bancel pointed to progress in cost reduction efforts, highlighting a 19% reduction in combined cost of sales, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses as a sign of ongoing financial discipline.

Moderna (MRNA) Q1 CY2025 Highlights:

  • Revenue: $108 million vs analyst estimates of $117.9 million (35.3% year-on-year decline, 8.4% miss)
  • Adjusted EPS: -$2.52 vs analyst estimates of -$3.11 (18.9% beat)
  • The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $2 billion at the midpoint
  • Market Capitalization: $10.39 billion

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions Moderna’s Q1 Earnings Call

  • Salveen Richter (Goldman Sachs) pressed for detail on the FDA’s requirement for additional flu vaccine efficacy data and its impact on the timing for the flu/COVID combination, to which CEO Stephane Bancel explained the scientific rationale and anticipated review extension.
  • Jasmine (UBS, for Eliana Merle) sought clarity on whether Phase 3 data for individualized neoantigen therapy (INT) remains on track for 2026, and inquired about trial expansion plans. President Stephen Hoge reiterated timelines are event-driven but remain possible, with further updates pending.
  • Tyler Van Buren (TD Cowen) asked about the likelihood of approval for the next-generation COVID vaccine given recent regulatory leadership changes. Hoge responded that interactions with the FDA have been “business as usual,” with no change in review process observed.
  • Courtney Breen (Bernstein) questioned the drivers and flexibility behind the expanded cost-cutting program. CFO Jamey Mock explained that cost reductions are largely tied to the winding down of large Phase 3 trials and ongoing process improvements, rather than specific revenue signals.
  • Gena Wang (Barclays) asked about U.S. COVID vaccine market share and future prospects, to which Mock replied that script data supports a stable market position and attributed lower reported revenue to customer inventory management rather than underlying loss of share.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, the StockStory team will closely monitor (1) regulatory decisions for Moderna’s next-generation COVID, RSV, and flu vaccines, (2) the pace and impact of ongoing cost reduction efforts as major clinical trials wind down, and (3) progress in late-stage pipeline programs—especially new data readouts for oncology and non-respiratory vaccines. Execution on product launches and continued market expansion will be key indicators of strategic progress.

Moderna currently trades at $26.84, down from $28.58 just before the earnings. Is there an opportunity in the stock?The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
