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.

Coinbase’s Q1 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

COIN Cover Image

Coinbase’s first quarter results drew a negative response from the market after both revenue and non-GAAP profit fell short of Wall Street expectations. Management attributed the miss primarily to lower transaction revenues and a shift in trading activity, with increased incentives to grow derivatives volume weighing on margins. CEO Brian Armstrong noted that while consumer and institutional trading volumes declined, the company gained market share, especially in derivatives, and continued to expand internationally. CFO Alesia Haas explained that investments to attract liquidity and customer acquisition in derivatives led to reduced transaction revenue, while a mix shift toward lower-fee market makers also contributed to pressure on top-line growth. "We are offering trading rebates and incentives to build liquidity and acquire customers," Haas said, pointing to the long-term strategy of building a comprehensive global trading platform.

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 Coinbase’s Q1 Earnings Call

  • Kenneth Worthington (JPMorgan) asked about the rationale and cross-sell potential of the Deribit acquisition. President Emilie Choi described the deal as a way to combine spot, futures, and options for institutional clients, while CFO Alesia Haas confirmed it is expected to be immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA.

  • James Yaro (Goldman Sachs) questioned the commercial logic behind adding Binance as a USDC partner and its impact on revenue sharing. Haas explained the partnership expands USDC’s total addressable market and provides Coinbase with 100% of reserve income for USDC held in eligible products, with shared economics off-platform.

  • Devin Ryan (Citizens) asked about opportunities with traditional financial institutions entering crypto and potential competition. CEO Brian Armstrong said Coinbase aims to power infrastructure for new entrants, offering custody, trading, and stablecoin services as more banks integrate crypto solutions.

  • Patrick Moley (Piper Sandler) inquired about the timeline for offering Deribit products in the U.S. and regulatory hurdles. Armstrong said Coinbase is working closely with the CFTC on approvals but expects it will take time to offer such products domestically.

  • Benjamin Budish (Barclays Capital) asked why Deribit dominates crypto options and about the user base. Haas attributed Deribit’s market share to product expertise and serving a diverse mix of advanced traders, mostly outside the U.S., while Armstrong emphasized the importance of trust for institutional clients.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will focus on (1) tracking the integration and revenue impact of the Deribit acquisition, (2) monitoring the growth and monetization of USDC and B2B stablecoin payment offerings, and (3) assessing Coinbase’s ability to secure additional international licenses and regulatory clarity. Developments in crypto asset prices and transaction volumes will also serve as key indicators of execution.

Coinbase currently trades at $357.20, up from $206.50 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
