IQSTEL, Inc. (N A S D A Q: IQST): Accelerating Toward $1 Billion Revenue with Disruptive AI & Fintech Innovations

By: PRLog
$IQST is a Global Communications Leader Scaling with High-Tech, High-Margin Growth Strategy

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Sept. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- IQSTEL, Inc. (N A S D A Q: IQST) is not just a telecom company anymore — it's emerging as a diversified technology powerhouse with bold ambitions and the roadmap to back them up.

With an impressive $400M annual revenue run rate already achieved five months ahead of schedule, IQSTEL is setting the stage for a $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026 and a $1 billion revenue milestone by 2027. This rapid growth trajectory, backed by cutting-edge innovations in Telecom, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Electric Vehicles, and Cybersecurity, positions IQSTEL as one of the most dynamic emerging tech stories on the N A S D A Q.

🔥 Why Investors Are Watching IQST Closely:

💸 $6.9 Million Debt Cut — Almost $2 Per Share in Value Unlocked


IQSTEL continues to strengthen its balance sheet, eliminating $6.9 million in debt — a move that directly enhances shareholder value and reinforces long-term growth. This cut translates to nearly $2 per share, delivering significant intrinsic value while improving financial flexibility.

📈 $35M in July Revenue – Rocketing Past $400M Run Rate

In July alone, IQSTEL reported $35 million in revenue, placing the company well on track to hit — and likely exceed — its FY-2025 revenue target of $340 million. The growth is organic and consistent, underscoring IQST's proven execution capabilities.

🔍 Litchfield Hills Research Reaffirms $18 Price Target

Following IQST's Q2 2025 results, Litchfield Hills Research reiterated its $18 price target, highlighting the company's rising EBITDA, strong equity position, and growing market influence. This implies a multi-fold upside from current levels, driven by strong fundamentals and strategic vision.

💡 Next-Generation AI Solutions: IQ2Call and Reality Border

IQSTEL is redefining the call center model with IQ2Call, a proprietary AI-powered platform created through its AI subsidiary Reality Border LLC. This transformative solution blends real-time AI automation with human intelligence, setting a new standard for efficiency and customer experience in the $750B global contact center industry.

🚑 Healthcare Sector Focus: IQST has partnered with Mobility Tech, a top-tier call center firm specializing in U.S. healthcare. This collaboration brings next-gen AI directly to one of the most demanding sectors, driving high-margin enterprise adoption.

🧭 The Roadmap: From $400M Run Rate to $1 Billion Revenue

IQSTEL's aggressive growth plan is underpinned by a clear strategic path:
  1. 2025 – Build on the $400M revenue run rate, optimize for margins, and reduce debt.
  2. 2026 – Reach a $15M EBITDA run rate, triggering potential market capitalization of $150M–$300M based on standard EBITDA multiples.
  3. 2027 – Achieve $1B in revenue, positioning IQST among the top global tech leaders.

The company's two-pronged "pincer strategy" — strategic acquisitions and organic high-margin growth — is already in motion. IQST is targeting 2–3 acquisitions, each expected to contribute approximately $5 million in EBITDA, further accelerating growth and shareholder value.

🔄 Shareholder Value at the Core: Equity Exchange with CYCU

IQSTEL is enhancing shareholder value with a unique equity partnership with CYCU, involving a $1 million stock exchange. Notably, half of the exchanged shares will be distributed as a dividend — a shareholder-friendly move rarely seen in growth-stage tech firms.
