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 Arhaus’s Q2 Earnings Call

ARHS Cover Image

Arhaus delivered a notable second quarter, with market reaction reflecting the company’s strong operational execution amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Management attributed the outperformance to the efficient in-sourcing of the Dallas Distribution Center, which enabled the company to fulfill high first-quarter demand more quickly. CEO John Reed credited this operational shift for helping drive comparable growth and highlighted the resilience of Arhaus’ high-end clientele as a key factor supporting record quarterly net revenue. Reed noted, “Our results this quarter are a testament to the strength of our brand, the loyalty of our clients, and above all, the incredible commitment of our teams.”

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 Arhaus’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Julio Rodolfo Marquez (Guggenheim Securities) asked about the Bath Collection’s potential and evolving product opportunities. CEO John Reed said the focus remains on core categories, emphasizing upholstery and customization, while Bath is seen as a major growth avenue.
  • William Andrew Carter (Stifel) inquired about implied fourth-quarter softness and tariff timing. CFO Michael Lee acknowledged ongoing monthly volatility and confirmed the majority of tariff impact will be in the second half, reflecting persistent uncertainty.
  • Carter (Stifel) also asked about supply chain investments and future leverage. Lee detailed ERP and back-office upgrades, stressing the importance of scalable systems to achieve margin improvement and support long-term showroom growth.
  • Seth Ian Sigman (Barclays) questioned the benefit from the Dallas distribution ramp and backlog conversion. Lee clarified the lag between order intake and deliveries, highlighting that Q2 results reflected a catch-up from earlier demand, with some backlog expected to carry into later quarters.
  • Jonathan Richard Matuszewski (Jefferies) sought updates on B2B strategy and the Bath Collection’s analogs. Management referenced ongoing leadership onboarding for trade partnerships and cited the outdoor business as a comparable growth case for Bath.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the sales impact and customer adoption of the new Bath Collection, (2) the effectiveness of showroom relocations and new openings in driving high-value customer engagement, and (3) the rollout and integration of technology upgrades such as the new ERP system. Progress on margin management amid tariff headwinds and sustained omnichannel growth will also be key signposts for Arhaus’ strategy execution.

Arhaus currently trades at $10.94, up from $9.88 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? Find out in our full research report (it’s free).
