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.

FedEx’s Q3 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions

By: StockStory

FDX Cover Image

FedEx’s third quarter performance reflected steady execution in the face of persistent global trade volatility and structural industry shifts. Management credited U.S. domestic parcel growth and disciplined cost management as key drivers, with CEO Rajesh Subramaniam highlighting “profitable share growth in the U.S. domestic market” and improved pricing discipline. Despite headwinds from reduced international export demand and the expiration of a major U.S. Postal Service contract, the company maintained operating margin stability. Management emphasized ongoing transformation initiatives, including network optimization and new business wins in high-value verticals, as supporting factors for the quarter.

  • Adjusted EPS: $3.83 vs analyst estimates of $3.62 (5.7% beat)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $2.39 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.31 billion (10.7% margin, 3.3% beat)

  • Operating Margin: 5.3%, in line with the same quarter last year
  • Market Capitalization: $55.15 billion

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 FedEx’s Q3 Earnings Call

  • Jordan Alliger (Goldman Sachs) sought clarity on the factors influencing the EPS guidance range. CFO John Dietrich explained it depends on evolving trade, industrial, and demand conditions, not just revenue variability.
  • Ken Hoexter (Bank of America) asked about the sources of cost headwinds. Dietrich detailed that the $1 billion impact stems from the removal of de minimis, direct trade-related expenses, and incremental compliance costs.
  • Bascome Majors (Susquehanna) questioned strategy on data monetization. CEO Rajesh Subramaniam emphasized FedEx’s unique operational data and ambitions to leverage AI for new revenue streams, stating, “FedEx owns one of the richest logistics, intelligent assets in the world.”
  • Scott Group (Wolfe Research) pressed on why operating leverage was muted despite revenue growth. Dietrich cited mix shift to less profitable traffic and persistent trade headwinds as the primary reasons.
  • Richa Harnain (Deutsche Bank) inquired about the sustainability of share gains in SMB and health care. Chief Customer Officer Brie Carere attributed momentum to direct selling, a robust loyalty program, and differentiation in rural and weekend coverage.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the pace and profitability of new customer onboarding, including Amazon and additional health care clients, (2) the company’s ability to offset trade policy-related headwinds through pricing and efficiency gains, and (3) progress on Network 2.0 integration and transformation savings. Developments in the spin-off of FedEx Freight and uptake of AI-driven digital tools will also be key factors to track.

FedEx currently trades at $234, up from $226.85 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it’s free).
