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.

Energy Recovery’s Q2 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

By: StockStory

ERII Cover Image

Energy Recovery's second quarter results were met with a positive market reaction, as the company delivered sales and profitability that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to continued strength in its core desalination business, noting several large deal signings and a resilient project pipeline. CEO David Moon highlighted that the company’s focus on both contract execution and new market opportunities helped offset macroeconomic volatility, stating, “Our core desalination business is proving resilient to the macro environment.” The leadership team also pointed to nimble operations in China, where a reduction in tariffs allowed delayed projects to proceed, further supporting revenue growth.

  • Adjusted EPS: $0.07 vs analyst estimates of $0.02 (significant beat)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $4.4 million vs analyst estimates of $1 million (15.7% margin, significant beat)
  • Operating Margin: 5.3%, up from -7.4% in the same quarter last year
  • Market Capitalization: $760.7 million

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 Energy Recovery’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Ryan James Pfingst (B. Riley): Asked if the pace of contracted desalination capacity growth could help achieve the higher end of management’s long-term revenue targets for 2026. CEO David Moon responded it is too early to tell, given project timing uncertainties, but expressed confidence in the trajectory.
  • Pfingst (B. Riley): Inquired about pricing strategy for the next-generation PX product. CFO Mike Mancini explained pricing is based on capacity rather than unit count, which supports higher revenue per project as capacity increases.
  • Pfingst (B. Riley): Requested an update on CO2 refrigeration partnerships and testing. Moon stated that commercial negotiations with Hillphoenix and other OEMs are ongoing, with new sites added and expectations for further progress during the summer testing season.
  • Pfingst (B. Riley): Asked about the potential for entering the data center market. Moon indicated the data center opportunity is still in early evaluation, and unless market adoption of CO2 accelerates, it is unlikely to be a near-term driver.
  • Jeffrey Leon Campbell (Seaport Research Partners): Questioned whether improved results in China were due to lower tariffs or greater customer willingness to pay. Moon credited the reduction in tariffs as the main factor enabling shipments and project execution.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking forward, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the conversion of the desalination project pipeline into signed contracts, (2) progress in achieving reference cases across targeted wastewater verticals to support broader market adoption, and (3) the outcome of CO2 refrigeration testing and commercial agreements with OEMs. The pace of regulatory change and tariff developments will also be important factors to watch.

Energy Recovery currently trades at $14.30, up from $13.61 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
