Chris Diorio, co-founder and CEO of Impinj, discussed the company's second quarter 2026 results during an earnings call on July 29, 2026, noting an 11% revenue increase to $108.4 million. He attributed growth to RAIN RFID adoption across retail, supply chain, and logistics, and highlighted emerging opportunities in categories such as over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, health and beauty, and cosmetics. Diorio said these sectors could benefit from tagging for expiration tracking, product guarantees, and stock accuracy, and described the breadth of engaged enterprises early in the market cycle as "far larger and faster than anything I've seen in our industry's history." Diorio also addressed retailer pull-ins, stating they provided a small benefit to the quarter's endpoint IC performance rather than a meaningful driver. He cited an example of a grocer reporting $100 million in annual losses from point-of-sale theft, primarily involving proteins and alcoholic beverages, as part of broader discussions on tagging opportunities. He noted that Impinj is supporting partners in the supply chain space and that one partner is "well ahead of everybody else," without naming the company.
