IQSTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: IQST) offers cutting-edge solutions in Telecom, Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cybersecurity. Operating in 21 countries, IQST delivers high-value, high-margin services to its extensive global customer base. IQST projects $340 million in revenue for FY-2025, building on its strong business platform.

IQST has been building a strong business platform with its customers, selling them millions of dollars per month, and by leveraging this trust, the company is now beginning to sell high-tech, high-margin products across its divisions. IQST is strategically positioned to achieve $1 billion in revenue by 2027 through organic growth, acquisitions, and high-margin product expansion.

IQST has announced that its Fintech Division is positioned to play a key role in achieving the Company's goal of reaching a $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026.

IQST completed the acquisition of Globetopper on July 1, 2025, and has since been accelerating its growth as part of the Company's strategic roadmap. Globetopper is expected to contribute approximately $16 million in Q3 2025 revenue and deliver $110,000 in EBITDA, making it cash flow positive for the quarter.

IQST plans to leverage its business platform — which already reaches over 600 of the largest telecom operators worldwide — to offer Globetopper's fintech services directly to its telecom customers.

Preliminary $317 Million Revenue for FY-2025 and Highlights of Strategic Path Toward EBITDA Expansion

On March 9th IQST announced preliminary revenue of approximately $317 million for fiscal year 2025, continuing the company's strong multi-year growth trajectory.

IQST currently operates at approximately a $400 million annual revenue run rate (80% Telecom, 20% Fintech), positioning IQST at the beginning of what management describes as its profit inflection phase, where operational scale begins to translate into accelerated EBITDA growth.

Because IQST is embedded within telecom operator infrastructure and billing systems, the platform indirectly serves approximately 2.7 billion end customers worldwide through its operator partners.

Beyond connectivity, this business platform enables IQST to cross-sell higher-margin technology solutions into an already monetized global network, leveraging long-standing relationships with telecom operators that already trust the company with millions of dollars in annual business.

IQST is now entering the next phase of its growth strategy focused on profitability expansion in 2026. This transition is expected to be driven by:

Operating leverage as revenue scales toward $500M–$600M.

Consolidation of minority ownership in key subsidiaries.

EBITDA-accretive acquisitions.

Expansion of higher-margin AI and cybersecurity services.

IQST currently reports an Adjusted EBITDA run rate of approximately $2.7 million and expects EBITDA to increase through both organic growth and consolidation initiatives.

IQST management projects EBITDA run rate could reach $9–$15 million as revenue scales toward $500M–$600M in 2026, representing the company's expected financial inflection point.

Potential Valuation Expansion Driven by EBITDA Growth

Companies operating in the IQST sector typically trade between 10x and 20x EBITDA. Based on these market benchmarks, IQST management believes its planned EBITDA expansion could significantly increase the implied valuation of the business.

Strategic Growth Through Acquisitions and Technology Expansion

IQST plans to pursue two targeted acquisitions in 2026, designed to accelerate the company's growth beyond $500 million in revenue while expanding its geographic footprint and technology capabilities.

In parallel, IQST is expanding into AI-enabled telecom solutions and cybersecurity services (IQSTEL AI & Digital Business Division), leveraging its existing telecom customer relationships to introduce higher-margin technology products into an already established global distribution network.

These initiatives are expected to generate seven-digit annual revenue by 2027, improving the company's margin profile and earnings quality.

IQST maintains a clean capital structure, including:

No convertible debt.

No warrants outstanding.

Approximately 4.9 million shares outstanding.

$12.23 in assets per share.

$4.66 in stockholders' equity per share.

Launch of IQCortex.ai at Mobile World Congress -- New AI Proprietary Platform Redefining Business Operations and Control Through Intelligent Orchestration

On February 26th IQST announced the official launch of IQCortex (www.IQCortex.ai), a next-generation AI orchestration proprietary platform designed to fundamentally transform how enterprises manage operations, control risk, and execute decisions at scale.

IQCortex will be formally introduced to the global telecommunications and technology community by IQST next week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona, one of the world's largest and most influential industry events.

The IQST IQCortex is not simply another AI tool — it represents a shift in how businesses operate.

Through its orchestration strategy, the IQST IQCortex continuously analyzes operational signals in real time and converts them into structured, governed actions. Instead of generating isolated recommendations, the platform coordinates decisions across systems — ensuring that every action is aligned with policy, traceable, and fully accountable.

This approach redefines operational control. Organizations no longer need to choose between speed and governance. IQCortex enables both.

From Monitoring Data to Orchestrating Action

Traditional systems monitor data. IQST IQCortexorchestrates action.

Built for the Tools Teams Already Use

IQST IQCortex integrates directly into enterprise environments — including Microsoft Copilot, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Grafana, Slack, and internal systems — without requiring new dashboards or disruptive system replacements.

Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), IQCortex securely connects to approved enterprise tools and data sources, delivering governed intelligence directly within existing workflows.

The result: a smarter operational backbone — without organizational friction.

Designed for High-Stakes Industries

IQST IQCortex delivers value across industries where operational precision and compliance are critical including Telecommunications, Financial Services, Cybersecurity, Healthcare, Government & Public Sector and Critical Infrastructure. In these environments, decisions must be fast — but they must also be explainable. IQST IQCortex provides both.
