Impinj Inc stock surged 6.38% to $178.80 in early trading on August 28 driven by a wave of analyst activity and strong Q2 earnings results. The stock opened at $167.81 and quickly climbed to a session high of $178.80 at 9:45 AM ET. Analysts from BMO Capital, Cantor Fitzgerald, Needham, and Jefferies all issued or updated their coverage of the stock with price targets ranging from $168 to $220. Additionally, Impinj reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.86 and revenue of $108.371 million in Q2, both exceeding estimates.

Needham kept its Buy rating but lowered its target to $168. Jefferies maintained a Buy rating and raised its price target to $190. These updates came alongside Impinj’s Q2 earnings report, which showed better-than-expected performance.
