Impinj reported Q4 2025 results with revenue of $92.8 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.50, meeting analyst expectations, and issued Q1 2026 guidance forecasting revenue between $71 million and $74 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.08–$0.13, which was below analyst consensus. Shares of Impinj fell significantly following the Q4 earnings report and weak Q1 2026 guidance.

Demand for Impinj's products and services is influenced by various factors, including inventory dynamics in key customer segments. The company has experienced and anticipates inventory burn-down across logistics and retail apparel channels. Impinj anticipates a rebound in the apparel market and expects endpoint IC volumes to rebound from an "uninspiring 2025" as new growth vectors emerge. The company also sees 2026 as a year to unlock new logos and use cases in general merchandise and anticipates a ramp in the food sector. Tariff uncertainty in Q1 2025 also led to "market whipsaw" with pull-in, push-out, and cancellation requests, and a strategic shift in sourcing by inlay partners for geographic optionality.
