Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund H. George Dai, Joshua D. Bennett | “Impinj designs, sells, and licenses a platform based on RAIN RFID—a wireless tagging technology that helps organizations identify and track items across supply chains. Its offering spans small endpoint chips (the tags placed on products), readers, and software that work together to improve visibility of inventory and assets across stores, warehouses, and distribution. We believe Impinj is well positioned as adoption of item-level tracking expands across retail and other industries. We believe the company's next-generation endpoint chip (the M800 family) is supporting broader use cases and helping Impinj continue to gain share in the RAIN RFID market. During the quarter, shares contributed positively after the company reported stronger-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results and issued an improved outlook for the third quarter. Despite a mixed retail environment, management highlighted ongoing progress with large enterprise rollouts and continued momentum at major customers, while pilot programs in food and grocery are accelerating. BSD Analysis: Item-level RFID adoption is broadening beyond apparel, supporting multi-year unit growth and pricing power for Impinj's M800 family. Strong Q2 beat/raise, enterprise rollouts, and new pilots underscore demand resilience. With operating leverage and share gains, the setup favors sustained revenue acceleration and margin expansion.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 8, 2025 | View Pitch |
Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund Eric Mintz, Christopher Sassouni, David Cavanaugh | “Impinj posted strong quarterly results with revenue growth ahead of expectations. Broader RFID adoption, licensing wins, and margin improvement supported the stock's outperformance. BSD Analysis: The secular adoption of RFID technology across industries sustains Impinj's long runway. Margin expansion and licensing economics drive profitability. Trading at ~25x forward EBITDA, the growth profile justifies valuation.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Wasatch Micro Cap Fund Ken Korngiebel, Thomas Bradley, Natalie Pesqué | “Impinj shares rose sharply after stronger-than-expected results and continued customer adoption of RFID technologies. Its superior read range and signal quality differentiate its offerings. Walmart's expansion of Impinj systems from apparel into general merchandise and food, along with adoption by UPS and FedEx, reinforced confidence in the company's growth trajectory. BSD Analysis: With leading IP and hardware in RAIN RFID, Impinj is well-positioned to capture a growing share of global asset tracking demand. Expanding enterprise adoption in retail and logistics supports secular tailwinds. Valuation remains justified given strong gross margins, accelerating revenue visibility, and early-stage penetration in key verticals.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
