Impinj Reports Record Q2 2026 Revenue and EBITDA on Strong Endpoint IC Demand
Impinj Inc posted record revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share in the second quarter of 2026, driven by strong demand across retail apparel, general merchandise, and supply chain and logistics. Endpoint IC product revenue set a new quarterly record with unit volumes exceeding expectations, while gross margin reached a record 60.9% helped by licensing revenue and a richer mix of M800 endpoint ICs. The custom ASIC ramp for a second large North American supply chain and logistics end user is ahead of schedule, with full conversion expected in the third quarter, and bookings hit an all-time high for the second consecutive quarter. Systems revenue declined 10% year-over-year due to weakness in label production systems, partially offset by reader IC strength, and the company noted some pull-in demand ahead of tariff expirations that may create future volatility. CEO Chris Diorio highlighted unprecedented engagement from large enterprises in the food market, with three of the five largest US grocers participating in early pilots, while CFO Carrie Baker said the M800 platform is expected to deliver 300 basis points of gross margin accretion.

AI-Chip Stocks Fall After SK Hynix Slows HBM Expansion
Shares of Sensata Technologies, Skyworks Solutions, and Impinj fell in afternoon trading after a report that South Korea's SK Hynix is slowing its high-bandwidth memory expansion rattled the AI-chip complex. Sensata Technologies dropped 5.2%, Skyworks Solutions fell 5.2%, and Impinj declined 4.7%. The sell-off was triggered by news that SK Hynix is deliberately slowing its HBM4 ramp to redirect capacity into conventional DRAM, where shortages have pushed operating margins more than 15 points above HBM's, according to Korean analysts. The broader memory sector took the brunt of the selling, with Micron falling 11%, while logic-heavy Nvidia fell only about 3.6%. Wedbush framed the drop as a buying opportunity, citing intact enterprise demand.
