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.

Analog Devices’s Q2 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

By: StockStory

ADI Cover Image

Analog Devices delivered better-than-expected results for Q2, with management attributing the strong performance to robust demand across all end markets and a significant acceleration in its industrial business. CEO Vincent Roche highlighted that double-digit year-over-year growth was achieved in sectors such as industrial automation, aerospace and defense, and healthcare, with automation returning to double-digit growth after lagging other segments previously. Roche emphasized the role of advanced robotics, increased AI investment, and customer collaborations in driving these results. CFO Richard Puccio noted, “Our industrial recovery has continued with sequential growth across all subsectors and regions.”

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 Analog Devices’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Timothy Arcuri (UBS) pressed on whether the industrial segment’s growth was above end-market consumption and if inventory build could be distorting results; CFO Richard Puccio replied that channel inventories remain lean, with end demand still below consumption, and stated, “We are in the cyclical upturn.”
  • Harlan Sur (JPMorgan) sought clarification on gross margin performance and drivers for improvement; Puccio explained that a temporary factory issue held margins back but expected a return to 70% gross margin as industrial mix rises.
  • Tore Svanberg (Stifel) asked about the long-term growth outlook for automation and the impact of robotics trends; CEO Vincent Roche said the automation business could double by 2030 due to new applications and increasing content per system.
  • James Schneider (Goldman Sachs) inquired about automotive order pull-ins and regional dynamics; Puccio confirmed recent demand was driven by China and expects a sequential decline as those pull-ins normalize.
  • Stacy Rasgon (Bernstein Research) questioned whether industrial growth could also be the result of pulled-forward demand; Roche countered that industrial bookings have followed expected patterns, with no signs of anomalous behavior outside automotive.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace of industrial recovery and the durability of automation and robotics demand, (2) the margin impact from a higher mix of industrial and improved factory utilization, and (3) how quickly the automotive segment stabilizes after recent pull-ins. We will also monitor management’s ability to navigate external risks such as tariffs and evolving customer inventory strategies.

Analog Devices currently trades at $255.85, up from $230.59 just before the earnings. Is there an opportunity in the stock?The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
