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 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From AMC Networks’s Q2 Earnings Call

By: StockStory

AMCX Cover Image

AMC Networks’ second quarter results received a positive market response, reflecting stronger-than-expected growth in streaming and content licensing revenues. Management credited the acceleration in streaming revenue to both higher engagement and successful price increases across platforms like Acorn and HIDIVE. CEO Kristin Dolan pointed to robust fan engagement at events like Comic-Con and highlighted the role of targeted streaming services in driving subscriber loyalty. CFO Patrick O’Connell emphasized that operational discipline and programming efficiencies contributed to higher-than-anticipated free cash flow.

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 AMC Networks’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Thomas L. Yeh (Morgan Stanley) asked about the drivers behind the increased free cash flow outlook. CFO Patrick O’Connell responded that cash tax savings were the largest contributor, with modest programming cost savings also playing a role.
  • Thomas L. Yeh (Morgan Stanley) also inquired about trends in advertising and affiliate revenues for the remainder of the year. O’Connell explained that content licensing remains strong while advertising is somewhat weaker, but overall guidance for total revenue remains unchanged.
  • Thomas L. Yeh (Morgan Stanley) questioned the strategic value of the Runway AI partnership. CEO Kristin Dolan clarified that Runway’s tools support creative ideation and visualization, expanding production capabilities without impacting ownership of AMC’s content IP.
  • John Christopher Hodulik (UBS) sought details on the sustainability of streaming subscription growth and digital advertising trends. O’Connell and Chief Commercial Officer Kim Kelleher highlighted continued pricing power in streaming and over 25% growth in digital ad commitments, but noted ongoing weakness in linear advertising.
  • Steven Lee Cahall (Wells Fargo) probed about the logic behind continued integration of content and distribution assets. O’Connell stressed that AMC Networks’ diverse assets—studio, streaming, and IP—work together to drive value, and that buybacks remain secondary to content investment and debt reduction.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In coming quarters, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the pace of streaming revenue growth, especially as more rate increases take effect; (2) the expansion and adoption of FAST channels in international markets; and (3) the ability of content licensing to provide consistent, high-margin revenue. Progress in digital advertising and successful new content launches—such as upcoming seasons of major franchises—will also be critical for tracking AMC Networks’ execution.

AMC Networks currently trades at $7.26, up from $6 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
