CORAL GABLES, Fla. - AstroBug -- IQSTEL, Inc. (N A S D A Q: IQST)  $IQST — a global technology leader operating at the intersection of Telecommunications, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cybersecurity — is capturing investor attention with bold growth forecasts, a solid balance sheet, and expanding institutional support.

With a projected $430 million in 2026 organic revenue (up 26% year-over-year), and a $500,000 stock dividend planned for shareholders by year-end 2025, IQSTEL is positioning itself as one of the most diversified and fastest-growing AI-integrated digital communications companies on Nasdaq.

AI, Fintech, and Telecom Synergy Powering the Next Phase of Growth

IQSTEL operates in 21 countries and serves a global base of telecom and enterprise clients. The company's four synergistic divisions — Telecom, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity — create a vertically integrated ecosystem designed for high-margin, scalable growth.

IQSTEL's 2026 revenue forecast of $430 million builds on its 2025 target of $340 million, following $283 million in revenue for FY 2024. The company's track record of meeting or exceeding its forecasts reflects disciplined execution and strong demand across its business lines.

A recent Litchfield Hills Research report reaffirmed this momentum with an $18 price target, citing IQSTEL's "high-margin growth strategy, strong management discipline, and AI-driven product expansion" as key drivers of long-term shareholder value.

"IQSTEL's diversified business model, expanding global footprint, and AI integration strategy give it a unique edge in multiple trillion-dollar markets," said Leandro Jose Iglesias, President and CEO. "Our roadmap to $1 billion in revenue by 2027 is well within reach."

Debt-Free Nasdaq Company With a Clean Capital Structure

On October 9, 2025, IQSTEL achieved a milestone few small-cap Nasdaq companies can claim — becoming a fully debt-free company with no convertible notes or warrants outstanding.

The company also strengthened its equity position with a $6.9 million debt reduction, equivalent to almost $2 per share, reinforcing shareholder value and balance sheet flexibility.

With $17.41 in assets per share, IQSTEL now stands out as a high-transparency, debt-free Nasdaq issuer — a rare combination that has begun attracting increased institutional investment interest.

Shareholder Value Expansion: $500,000 Stock Dividend and CYCU Strategic Alliance

In conjunction with its financial transformation, IQSTEL announced plans to distribute a $500,000 stock dividend in 2025 as part of its strategic AI-cybersecurity partnership with Cycurion, Inc. (N A S D A Q: CYCU).

This partnership includes a $1 million stock exchange agreement and joint development of AI-enhanced cybersecurity solutions. Together, IQSTEL's Reality Border AI division and CYCU's ARx platform have completed Phase One of a next-generation cyber defense rollout — integrating secure AI agents with built-in threat prevention and proactive security.

This alliance not only expands IQSTEL's footprint in the AI and cybersecurity markets but also represents a tangible return of value to shareholders through the planned stock dividend.

Fintech Acceleration Through Globetopper Acquisition

IQSTEL's Fintech division continues to be a major EBITDA growth engine. Following the July 1, 2025 acquisition of Globetopper, the division delivered $16 million in Q3 2025 revenue and $110,000 in EBITDA, achieving cash-flow-positive performance in its first full quarter under IQSTEL's management.

Leveraging a global telecom network of over 600 Tier-1 operators, IQSTEL is now cross-selling Globetopper's fintech services to its existing clients — a strategy expected to drive substantial high-margin revenue growth in 2026 and 2027.

Strategic Forecast: $15 Million EBITDA in 2026 and $1 Billion Revenue by 2027

IQSTEL's management has set a clear and credible financial roadmap:

• 2025 Revenue Target: $340 million
• 2026 Revenue Forecast: $430 million (26% organic growth)
• 2026 EBITDA Run Rate Goal: $15 million
• 2027 Revenue Goal: $1 billion

This trajectory combines organic expansion with selective, accretive acquisitions — the company plans to add two to three businesses that strengthen its core divisions in AI, Fintech, and Cybersecurity while maintaining a disciplined focus on profitability.

IQSTEL recently launched IQ2Call.ai, a next-generation AI-telecom integration platform designed to revolutionize customer engagement and automation in the $750 billion global telecommunications market.
