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 Top 5 Analyst Questions From nCino’s Q2 Earnings Call

By: StockStory

NCNO Cover Image

nCino’s second quarter results received a strong positive reaction from the market, reflecting the company's ability to outperform Wall Street’s expectations. Management attributed this performance to robust deal activity, particularly in North America, and meaningful momentum in the mortgage and credit union segments. CEO Sean Desmond highlighted the significance of successful expansion agreements with large banks and the early adoption of nCino’s AI-powered Banking Adviser by more than 80 customers as key contributors to the growth observed during the quarter.

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 nCino’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Brent Bracelin (Piper Sandler) asked about the sustainability of organic growth drivers. CFO Greg Orenstein noted improved macro conditions and a “level of deal activity in quite some time,” suggesting ongoing momentum rather than one-time factors.

  • Terry Tillman (Truist) inquired about the impact and trajectory of platform pricing adoption. Orenstein stated price uplifts align with expectations and confirmed a larger base of renewals is anticipated in the fourth quarter.

  • Ryan Tomasello (KBW) questioned the pace and competitive nature of credit union wins. CEO Sean Desmond explained these wins validated the company’s dedicated go-to-market strategy and ongoing cross-sell opportunities.

  • Adam Hotchkiss (Goldman Sachs) asked about the integration and pipeline development for Full Circle and DocVox products. Desmond responded that technical progress is on track and expects sales cycles to pick up in the back half of the year and into the next.

  • Alex Sklar (Raymond James) sought clarity on international pipeline strength and leadership impact. Desmond highlighted strong pipeline activity in EMEA, attributed to new regional leadership and strategic focus beyond the UK and Ireland.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking forward, our analyst team will be monitoring (1) the rate of AI-driven Banking Adviser adoption and its impact on customer renewals, (2) new customer acquisitions and deal activity in Continental Europe and broader EMEA regions, and (3) the pace and profitability of the ongoing platform pricing transition, especially during the fourth quarter renewal cycle. Continued integration of acquired products and traction in cross-selling to existing clients will also be important metrics to track.

nCino currently trades at $32, up from $28.67 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it’s free).
