ISG to Publish Report on Supply Chain Service Providers
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers that are helping enterprises make their supply chains more resilient and adaptable amid rapid changes in technology and global business.
The supply chains of the future will need to adapt to constant change. To remain competitive, enterprises are seeking service providers that can make their supply chains more agile, efficient and resilient.
Share
The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Supply Chain Services, scheduled to be released in September 2025. The reports will cover companies offering services including supply chain consulting, operations modernization and the implementation of transportation management and circular supply chain systems.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm's buy-side clients.
Companies face growing uncertainty from geopolitical and economic disruptions, including rising tariffs, even as they come under pressure to make supply chains more efficient and sustainable. Many are using specialized consulting services and new technologies, including AI, to remain competitive in this crucial, complex aspect of business operations. Enterprises want modular, scalable solutions suited to their digital maturity and industry-specific requirements.
'The supply chains of the future will need to adapt to constant change,' said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'To remain competitive, enterprises are seeking service providers that can make their supply chains more agile, efficient and resilient.'
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 supply chain service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG's global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the supply chain services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG's experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:
Supply Chain Operations Modernization Services, evaluating providers of consulting, implementation and managed services to transform supply chain operations. Leading providers use AI, automation and analytics to optimize processes and deliver real-time insights, enhancing visibility and compliance.
Supply Chain BPO Services, assessing providers of outsourced business processes including procurement, order fulfillment, transportation, customer service and logistics management. Providers must be able to integrate technologies such as AI, automation, chatbots, predictive analytics and natural-language processing.
Circular Supply Chain Services, covering providers that help enterprises make their operations more sustainable through reuse, recycling and remanufacturing. Providers focus on building capabilities such as resource efficiency, waste reduction, traceability and reverse logistics.
Supply Chain TMS Implementation Services, evaluating providers that help clients put transportation management systems in place to overcome operational, regulatory and cost challenges related to transportation. TMS requirements include addressing regional issues such as major tax changes, high logistics costs and limited carrier availability.
Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global supply chain services market and examine products and services available globally and in Brazil. ISG analysts Tarun Vaid, Sidney Nobre, Mamtha R, Rafael Rigotti, Sumit Kumar and Vaishnavi G K will serve as authors of the report.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as supply chain service providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.
All 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG's continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged complete this online survey.

CRWV vs. PLTR vs. NVDA: Which Is the Best AI Stock to Buy Now, According to Analysts?
The stock market remains volatile due to geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty, raising concerns about a potential slowdown in AI (artificial intelligence) spending. Nonetheless, Wall Street remains confident about several AI stocks, given the massive growth opportunity in the generative AI space over the long term. Using TipRanks' Stock Comparison Tool, we placed CoreWeave (CRWV), Palantir Technologies (PLTR), and Nvidia (NVDA) against each other to find the best AI stock, according to Wall Street analysts. Confident Investing Starts Here: CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) Stock CoreWeave, a cloud provider that specializes in AI infrastructure, is experiencing strong traction for its offerings amid the ongoing AI boom. The company has been in the news for its strategic deals. Notably, CoreWeave struck a $11.9 billion 5-year cloud computing contract with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. The two AI companies also signed an expanded agreement of up to $4 billion to meet the growing demand for high-performance computing. Furthermore, CoreWeave is reportedly powering the recently announced cloud deal between Alphabet's Google (GOOGL) and OpenAI. CRWV stock has rallied by a staggering 359% from its IPO (initial public offering) price of $40. Is CRWV a Good Stock to Buy? Recently, Bank of America analyst Bradley Sills downgraded CoreWeave stock to Hold from Buy on valuation concerns, following the stellar rally in the AI infrastructure stock in reaction to the Q1 earnings. The 4-star analyst highlighted that CRWV stock is trading at an elevated valuation of 2027 EV/EBIT (enterprise value-to-earnings before interest and taxes) of 25x. While Sills noted several positives, like the expansion of CoreWeave's partnership with OpenAI and impressive revenue momentum, he pointed out the company's huge capital expenditure ($46.1 billion through 2027). Consequently, the analyst expects $21 billion of negative free cash flow through 2027. Turning to Wall Street, CoreWeave stock scores a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on six Buys, 11 Holds, and one Sell recommendation. The average CRWV stock price target of $78.53 indicates a significant downside risk of 57.2% from current levels. Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) Stock Data analytics company Palantir Technologies is considered one of the hottest AI stocks. PLTR stock has rallied more than 81% so far in 2025. The company's revenue is growing at a rapid pace across its Government and Commercial businesses. Palantir's AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) offering is bolstering its business. Palantir's market-beating first-quarter results reinforced the strength of its AI-powered offerings. Notably, Q1 2025 revenue increased by 39% year-over-year to $884 million, while adjusted EPS (earnings per share) jumped 62%. Additionally, the company raised its full-year guidance, as it believes that it is in the 'middle of a tectonic shift' in the adoption of its software, mainly in the U.S. Is Palantir Stock a Buy? While several analysts are cautious on Palantir stock due to its lofty valuation, Loop Capital analyst Mark Schappel reiterated a Buy rating and boosted the price target from $130 to a Street-high of $150. Following a meeting with management, the 5-star analyst stated that he is more convinced about PLTR's AI growth story and his bullish investment thesis. Schappel believes that Palantir is an early software leader in enterprise AI, which he thinks is at a 'tipping point,' as small-scale pilots move into production and AI use cases increase exponentially across all industries. Trading at 48x EV/2027 revenue, the analyst agrees that PLTR stock is 'not for the faint of heart.' That said, he contends that investors should look at the big picture, which indicates that Palantir is exposed to a massive AI opportunity. With 10 Holds, three Buys, and four Sells, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on Palantir Technologies stock. The average PLTR stock price forecast of $104.27 indicates a possible downside of 24.1% from current levels. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Stock After a tough start to the year due to concerns about rising competition in the AI space, chip export restrictions, and tariff woes, Nvidia stock has recovered 21% over the past three months and is up 7.1% year-to-date. While uncertainty around chip exports and competition from custom AI chips remain an overhang, the semiconductor giant continues to gain from robust demand for its GPUs (graphics processing units) in the AI space, as reflected in the market-beating first-quarter results. Looking ahead, the demand for NVDA's Blackwell platform is expected to boost its top-line growth. Moreover, the company's focus on 'sovereign AI,' which it defines as a country's ability to develop and deploy AI, could drive its revenue higher. In this regard, Nvidia's lucrative deals, like the recently announced agreement with Saudi Arabia and Germany, are worth noting. Is Nvidia Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Earlier this month, Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating on Nvidia stock with a price target of $180. Following a meeting with management, the 5-star analyst noted that the tone of the team was very positive regarding demand for Nvidia's products and continued customer interest across cloud and enterprise, backed by a full-scale supply ramp. Arya believes that management addressed three key investor debates that have been weighing on NVDA stock over the past year – Blackwell rack ramp and execution, AI diffusion and sovereign demand, and China AI shipments. The analyst stated that Nvidia stock remains a top sector pick for Bank of America, as it is 'best positioned' to benefit from the ongoing AI boom, bolstered by a multi-year lead in 'performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support.' Despite near-term challenges, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Nvidia stock based on 35 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell recommendation. The average NVDA stock price target of $173.19 indicates 20.4% upside potential from current levels. Conclusion Wall Street is highly bullish on Nvidia stock, cautiously optimistic on CoreWeave, and sidelined on Palantir stock. Currently, analysts forecast further upside in chip giant Nvidia's stock while they see possible downside risk in the other two AI stocks. The optimism of most analysts on Nvidia stock is backed by its strong fundamentals, robust demand for its AI chips, continued innovation, and solid execution.

LPRO DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, A GLOBALLY RESPECTED LAW FIRM, Encourages Open Lending Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important June 30 Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: New York, N.Y., June 21, 2025. Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Open Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: LPRO) between February 24, 2022 and March 31, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important June 30, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Open Lending securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Open Lending class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 30, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose materially adverse facts about Open Lending's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants: (1) misrepresented the capabilities of Open Lending's risk-based pricing models; (2) issued materially misleading statements regarding Open Lending's profit share revenue; (3) failed to disclose Open Lending's 2021 and 2022 vintage loans had become worth significantly less than their corresponding outstanding loan balances; (4) misrepresented the underperformance of Open Lending's 2023 and 2024 vintage loans; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Open Lending's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Open Lending class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.
