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.

Inter Parfums (IPAR) Q2 CY2025 Highlights:

  • Revenue: $333.9 million vs analyst estimates of $334.5 million (2.4% year-on-year decline, in line)
  • EPS (GAAP): $0.99 vs analyst expectations of $1.08 (8.1% miss)
  • The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $1.51 billion at the midpoint
  • EPS (GAAP) guidance for the full year is $5.35 at the midpoint, beating analyst estimates by 3.3%
  • Operating Margin: 17.7%, down from 18.9% in the same quarter last year
  • Market Capitalization: $3.85 billion

Company Overview

With licenses to produce colognes and perfumes under brands such as Kate Spade, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Abercrombie & Fitch, Inter Parfums (NASDAQ: IPAR) manufactures and distributes fragrances worldwide.

Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years.

With $1.46 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Inter Parfums is a small consumer staples company, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and negotiating leverage with retailers. On the bright side, it can grow faster because it has a longer list of untapped store chains to sell into.

As you can see below, Inter Parfums’s 14.6% annualized revenue growth over the last three years was solid. This is a good starting point for our analysis because it shows Inter Parfums’s demand was higher than many consumer staples companies.

Inter Parfums Quarterly Revenue

This quarter, Inter Parfums reported a rather uninspiring 2.4% year-on-year revenue decline to $333.9 million of revenue, in line with Wall Street’s estimates.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.8% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection doesn't excite us and suggests its products will see some demand headwinds. At least the company is tracking well in other measures of financial health.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

Cash Is King

Although earnings are undoubtedly valuable for assessing company performance, we believe cash is king because you can’t use accounting profits to pay the bills.

Inter Parfums has shown robust cash profitability, driven by its attractive business model that enables it to reinvest or return capital to investors. The company’s free cash flow margin averaged 10.8% over the last two years, quite impressive for a consumer staples business.

Key Takeaways from Inter Parfums’s Q2 Results

It was great to see Inter Parfums’s full-year revenue guidance top analysts’ expectations. We were also glad its full-year EPS guidance exceeded Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its EPS missed. Zooming out, we think this was a mixed quarter. The stock remained flat at $118.50 immediately after reporting.

Is Inter Parfums an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.
