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.

Zimmer Biomet’s Q2 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

By: StockStory

ZBH Cover Image

Zimmer Biomet’s second quarter results were met with a positive market response, reflecting successful execution on new product launches and meaningful contributions from recent M&A activity. Management attributed the quarter’s outperformance to strong U.S. growth in hip and knee implants, as well as sustained momentum in the S.E.T. (Sports Medicine, Extremities, and Trauma) segment. CEO Ivan Tornos emphasized, “Our U.S. Hips business drove strong results... and S.E.T. reported another solid mid-single-digit organic growth quarter.” The leadership also highlighted disciplined commercial execution and early adoption of new technologies as central to the company’s 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 Zimmer Biomet’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Robert Justin Marcus (JPMorgan) asked about the confidence behind the accelerated second-half growth outlook. CEO Ivan Tornos explained that strong July trends, easier year-over-year comparisons, and new product momentum underpin their expectations.

  • David Harrison Roman (Goldman Sachs) inquired about broader orthopedic market trends. Tornos responded that the market remains healthy, with strong patient volumes and waiting lists, and no signs of slowdown relative to pre-pandemic levels.

  • Jason Hart Wittes (Roth Capital) questioned the competitive positioning of Monogram’s AI robotics. Tornos highlighted the platform’s fully autonomous capabilities, surgeon workflow integration, and ability to perform remote surgeries as unique advantages.

  • Vijay Muniyappa Kumar (Evercore ISI) asked for clarity on margin headwinds from recent acquisitions and tariffs. CFO Suketu Upadhyay detailed that improved tariff mitigation, lower borrowing costs, and operational efficiencies are offsetting the impact of integration expenses.

  • Caitlin Cronin (Canaccord) sought an update on robotic system placements and the THINK Surgical partnership. Tornos noted that robotic installations are tracking as planned, with the next-generation ROSA system expected to drive further adoption into 2026.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, our analyst team will monitor (1) the pace of adoption for recently launched hip and knee products, (2) the successful integration and commercial impact of Paragon 28 and Monogram Technologies, and (3) the ability to maintain margin improvements amid ongoing operational investments and tariff uncertainties. Progress in robotics innovation and market acceptance of autonomous surgery will also be key indicators for future performance.

Zimmer Biomet currently trades at $103.25, up from $91.15 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? Find out in our full research report (it’s free).
