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.

Noodles’s Q2 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

By: StockStory

NDLS Cover Image

Noodles & Company’s second quarter results disappointed investors, with revenue and profit metrics missing Wall Street expectations and the stock declining sharply after the report. Management attributed the underperformance primarily to weaker guest traffic and a misalignment between new menu pricing and consumer value perception. CEO Andrew Madsen acknowledged that the nationwide launch of the revamped menu, intended to improve food quality and brand identity, did not deliver the expected lift in guest visits, noting, “We experienced an unexpected decline in guest value perception following our menu launch in March.”

  • Revenue: $126.4 million vs analyst estimates of $131.6 million (flat year on year, 3.9% miss)
  • Adjusted EPS: -$0.12 vs analyst estimates of -$0.06 (significant miss)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $6.02 million vs analyst estimates of $7.61 million (4.8% margin, 20.9% miss)
  • The company dropped its revenue guidance for the full year to $491 million at the midpoint from $507.5 million, a 3.3% decrease
  • Operating Margin: -0.9%, down from 0.4% in the same quarter last year
  • Locations: 453 at quarter end, down from 473 in the same quarter last year

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 Noodles’s Q2 Earnings Call

No analyst Q&A was included in the company’s earnings call transcript. As such, no individual analyst questions or attributions can be reported for this quarter.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, the StockStory team will watch (1) the sustained impact of the Duos platform and other value-focused menu initiatives on both guest traffic and check size, (2) progress on the closure of underperforming restaurants and the resulting effects on overall profitability, and (3) operational improvements in menu execution and cost control. New product launches, especially limited time offers, will also be important signposts for potential recovery.

Noodles currently trades at $0.70, down from $1.01 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
