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.

CBRE’s second quarter results drew a positive response from the market, reflecting outperformance versus Wall Street expectations. Management credited growth in both resilient and transactional business segments, with particularly strong contributions from facilities management and project management. CEO Bob Sulentic emphasized the value of combining legacy business lines, noting that the Building Operations & Experience and Project Management segments delivered double-digit revenue growth. The company also highlighted robust leasing activity, especially in office and industrial sectors, as a major driver of the quarter’s successful performance.

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 From CBRE’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Anthony Paolone (JPMorgan) asked about the sustainability of office leasing growth and the impact of tougher year-over-year comparisons. CEO Bob Sulentic explained that while growth rates may moderate, demand is broadening across markets.
  • Julien Blouin (Goldman Sachs) questioned the integration benefits of Turner & Townsend. Sulentic highlighted both cost and revenue synergies and described efficiency gains from shared systems and resource allocation.
  • Stephen Sakwa (Evercore ISI) inquired about the strength of capital markets activity amid stable interest rates. Sulentic and CFO Emma Giamartino stated that narrowing bid-ask spreads and strong pipelines are driving momentum, with no major changes expected from rate movements.
  • Ronald Kamdem (Morgan Stanley) asked about the runway for operating leverage in Building Operations & Experience. Giamartino clarified that most additional benefits are expected to materialize in 2026, with current-year guidance reflecting completed cost work.
  • Jade Rahmani (KBW) sought detail on CBRE’s infrastructure exposure and future investment plans. Sulentic confirmed that infrastructure is a growing area, but no specific allocation targets have been set.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be closely monitoring (1) signs of sustained leasing strength in both office and industrial segments, (2) the pace and scale of integration synergies from Turner & Townsend and other recent business combinations, and (3) the continued expansion of infrastructure services and investment management. Additionally, we will track the stability of capital markets activity and the company’s ability to convert a robust pipeline into new mandates and recurring revenue streams.
