We recently published a list of 10 Tech Stocks That Trump’s Fellow Republican Bought Amid Market Rout. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ:PI) stands against other tech stocks that Trump’s fellow Republican bought amid market rout.

Keeping track of politicians’ stock investments is a good way of determining which stocks may receive favorable policy treatment from the government down the road. By looking at the committees these politicians sit in, and the policy matters they are dealing with, investors can gain insights into what’s to follow for certain industries.

The STOCK Act requires these politicians to report their trades within 45 days of placing them. These disclosures are then made public, making the process as transparent as possible. While looking at some recent disclosures, we noticed certain politicians who stood out. One such politician was Trump’s fellow Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who bought stocks on the 3rd and 4th of April, two days when the S&P lost over 10% of its value!

Some of these stocks have already recovered from their lows hit that day, showing how Ms Greene was able to buy stocks that recovered swiftly despite the broader market continuing to struggle.

To come up with our list of 10 tech stocks that Trump’s fellow Republican bought amid the market rout, we looked at the Republican’s two recent filings on the 7th and 11th of April, where she reported these trades. We then ranked them by the number of hedge funds that hold the company’s stock in their portfolio.

Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ:PI) is a cloud connectivity platform operator. The company’s platform wirelessly links items and provides data about the linked items to consumer and business applications. It mainly serves supply chain and logistics, aviation, data centers, retail, automotive, healthcare, banking, industrial, and manufacturing, and other markets.

According to the Co-Founder and CEO of Impinj, Chris Diorio, the company has delivered four consecutive years of double-digit revenue growth. This growth was fueled by the strong demand in the general merchandise, supply chain and logistics, and retail apparel. PI reported an impressive 30% YoY revenue growth for the most recent quarter, while for the full-year 2024, the company recorded revenue growth of 19%.

Based on the strong earnings, the firm provided a positive future outlook for the company. As per the guidance, PI management anticipates revenue to be in the range of $70 million and $73 million for Q1 2025. It represents a sequential decline because of the absence of large program ramps and excess endpoint IC inventory. Affected by lower average selling prices and product mix, gross margin will be at its lowest point for the year in Q1. However, with the help of cost efficiencies and new product launches,  improvements are expected in the coming quarters.

Overall, PI ranks 10th on our list of tech stocks that Trump’s fellow Republican bought amid market rout. While we acknowledge the potential of PI as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
