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.

Wynn Resorts’s Q2 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

WYNN Cover Image

Wynn Resorts' second quarter results showed flat revenue growth and missed Wall Street expectations for both sales and non-GAAP profit. Management attributed this performance to mixed results across its major properties. Las Vegas operations benefited from increased casino demand among high-end customers and operational adjustments focused on premium rate retention. In Macau, lower-than-expected VIP hold weighed on results despite solid mass market volume growth and continued progress on property refresh projects. CEO Craig Billings highlighted, “We’ve been able to hold rate, which is a good indicator of demand for what we offer.”

Wynn Resorts (WYNN) Q2 CY2025 Highlights:

  • Revenue: $1.74 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.75 billion (flat year on year, 0.6% miss)
  • Adjusted EPS: $1.09 vs analyst expectations of $1.20 (9% miss)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $442 million vs analyst estimates of $551.7 million (25.4% margin, 19.9% miss)
  • Operating Margin: 15.2%, in line with the same quarter last year
  • Market Capitalization: $11.51 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 Wynn Resorts’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Dan Politzer (JPMorgan) asked about Las Vegas outperformance and the impact of premium positioning versus operational changes. CEO Craig Billings emphasized both the luxury customer base and disciplined operational improvements as drivers.
  • Elizabeth Dove (Goldman Sachs) questioned differences in domestic versus international consumer trends and spending behaviors. Billings noted stable high-end demand and spending, particularly in casino and fine dining, despite broader market softness.
  • Stephen Grambling (Morgan Stanley) inquired about expense management and whether cost containment was sustainable. CFO Julie Cameron-Doe highlighted flexible staffing and global discipline, with some one-time event costs during the quarter.
  • David Katz (Jefferies) probed the role of promotions and entertainment in Macau’s recovery. Billings described reinvestment as stable and tailored, with entertainment acting as a key driver for visitation and future property enhancements.
  • Steven Wieczynski (Stifel) asked about the UAE project’s financial assumptions and competitive landscape. Billings confirmed current projections assume multiple future competitors, but early exclusivity may introduce upside potential if that assumption does not materialize quickly.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the quarters ahead, our team will focus on (1) the progress of major property upgrades in both Las Vegas and Macau and how these impact premium segment performance, (2) the pace of pre-opening milestones and partner announcements for Wynn Al Marjan Island, and (3) evolving trends in group and convention bookings. Developments in the regulatory and competitive landscape in the UAE will also warrant close attention.

Wynn Resorts currently trades at $111.01, up from $107.14 just before the earnings. Is there an opportunity in the stock?See for yourself in our full research report (it’s free).
