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 Movado’s Q2 Earnings Call

MOV Cover Image

Movado’s second quarter reflected a mix of product-driven growth and external cost pressures, with management attributing performance to successful new watch introductions and the strategic timing of inventory movements ahead of U.S. tariff increases. CEO Efraim Grinberg noted, “We have built a strong position in inventory of Swiss-made watches in the United States and would expect a substantial portion of the year’s needs are covered.” Management also highlighted ongoing traction in digital and wholesale channels, particularly for women’s and licensed brand collections.

  • Adjusted EBITDA: $8.28 million (5.1% margin, 39.6% year-on-year growth)

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 Movado’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Hamed Khorsand (BWS Financial) asked about the consumer response to mini watches and whether this trend would continue. CEO Efraim Grinberg explained the appeal of smaller watches, especially among younger women, and sees the trend expanding.

  • Hamed Khorsand (BWS Financial) inquired about the impact of Prime Day and digital events. Grinberg responded that digital-focused retail partners performed well globally, particularly in Europe, and this channel remains a strategic focus.

  • Hamed Khorsand (BWS Financial) sought clarity on inventory build-up and the plan to digest excess stock before the holiday season. Grinberg and CFO Sallie DeMarsilis emphasized that most inventory is already in the U.S. and should normalize by year-end as demand absorbs it.

  • Oliver Chen questioned the timeline for restructuring charges ending and their impact on results. Grinberg noted most restructuring actions are completed, with only minor charges remaining, while DeMarsilis said cost savings will offset normal expense growth.

No additional analyst questions were asked on the call.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Going forward, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the resolution of U.S.-Swiss tariff negotiations and any corresponding impact on costs, (2) the pace at which inventory levels normalize and translate into sales, and (3) the effectiveness of new product launches and digital marketing campaigns in sustaining demand. Progress on cost containment and the return to consistent operating margin improvement will also be key signposts.

Movado currently trades at $18.48, up from $17.52 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? Find out in our full research report (it’s free).
