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.

5 Insightful Analyst Questions From Hamilton Insurance Group’s Q2 Earnings Call

By: StockStory

HG Cover Image

Hamilton Insurance Group delivered results in Q2 that surpassed Wall Street expectations, with management attributing the strong performance to disciplined underwriting, significant growth in specialty and reinsurance segments, and robust investment returns. CEO Pina Albo emphasized that proactive cycle management—leaning into areas with attractive returns while pulling back from less favorable markets—was a central factor. The company also benefited from an upgraded AM Best rating, which contributed to notable growth in the Bermuda segment, particularly in targeted casualty reinsurance and new specialty classes.

Hamilton Insurance Group (HG) Q2 CY2025 Highlights:

  • Revenue: $740.8 million vs analyst estimates of $606.7 million (26% year-on-year growth, 22.1% beat)
  • EPS (GAAP): $1.79 vs analyst estimates of $0.83 (significant beat)
  • Adjusted Operating Income: $270.5 million (36.5% margin, 33.3% year-on-year growth)
  • Market Capitalization: $2.33 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 From Hamilton Insurance Group’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Hristian Getsov (Wells Fargo) pressed for details on the $18 million casualty reserve increase in Bermuda’s discontinued lines and its impact on loss picks. CFO Craig Howie clarified the increase was modest, related to pre-2020 accident years, and did not affect current loss assumptions.
  • Dan (BMO Capital Markets) questioned competitive pressures in the Select business and the pace of premium growth. CEO Pina Albo explained the company does not support managing general agents (MGAs) in that segment and continues to see healthy demand in its niche, despite some aggressive actions by competitors.
  • Dan (BMO Capital Markets) also asked about the outlook for Bermuda casualty growth after the AM Best upgrade. Albo noted that while growth has been strong and slightly ahead of internal targets, future expansion is expected to moderate as the company maintains selectivity.
  • Dan (BMO Capital Markets) inquired about the sustainability of the expense ratio, especially regarding profit commissions. Howie responded that profit commissions depend on segment performance and are not expected to represent a new normal.
  • Matthew Carletti (Citizens Capital Markets) asked about future tax rates. Howie stated that Hamilton benefits from a five-year deferral on the global minimum tax, keeping its current effective tax rate in the low single digits.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

The StockStory team will closely monitor (1) the sustainability of premium growth in targeted casualty and specialty lines, (2) trends in the company’s expense ratio as business mix shifts and profit commissions fluctuate, and (3) the ongoing impact of recent management transitions on operational performance. Additionally, we will watch for the company’s ability to maintain reserve discipline and capitalize on investment returns in a changing rate environment.

Hamilton Insurance Group currently trades at $23.31, up from $21.54 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
