iQSTEL, Inc. (Stock Symbol: IQSTD) is a US-based multinational company in the final stages of the path to becoming listed on Nasdaq. IQSTD offers cutting-edge solutions in Telecom, Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cybersecurity. Operating in 21 countries, IQSTD delivers high-value, high-margin services to its extensive global customer base. IQSTD projects $340 million in revenue for FY-2025, building on its strong business platform.

IQSTD 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. IQSTD is strategically positioned to achieve $1 billion in revenue by 2027 through organic growth, acquisitions, and high-margin product expansion.

Strategic Decision to Uplist to NASDAQ Utilizing Reverse Stock Split to Meet Minimum Listing Requirements

On May 2^nd IQSTD announced the strategic decision to uplist to the NASDAQ stock exchange. As part of this process, IQSTD has executed a reverse stock split at a ratio of 80:1 to meet the minimum share price required for listing. With $283 million in revenue reported for 2024 and a 96% year-over-year growth rate, IQSTD is poised to enter a new phase of growth and recognition on a national exchange.

The Company's common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the OTCQX under the trading symbol "IQSTD" as of May 2nd. The fifth character "D" will be removed from the Company's trading symbol after 20 business days if the stock is still trading on the OTCQX, or upon the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq, whichever occurs first. At that time, the Company's trading symbol will revert to "IQST."

Leandro Jose Iglesias President & CEO of IQSTD stated, "Our management team firmly believes that IQSTEL's current market capitalization on the OTC market does not reflect the true value of our company, especially considering our outstanding performance and solid financial foundation. We are confident that a NASDAQ listing will bring our market value more in line with our real business strength."

Key Facts Supporting the IQSTD NASDAQ Uplisting

Revenue Growth: In 2024, IQSTD reported $283 million in revenue, yet market capitalization remains at only about 10% of that figure.
Explosive Growth: IQSTD achieved 96% year-over-year revenue growth, but valuation has not kept pace with performance.
Strong Asset Base: With $79 million in assets, IQSTD valuation still reflects only a fraction of its balance sheet strength.
Proven Profitability: The IQSTD core telecom division generates positive adjusted EBITDA and net income, confirming the scalability of the Company's business model.
Revenue Per Share vs. Stock Price: IQSTD reported $1.40 in revenue per share in 2024, while the stock price trades at less than 10% of that figure.
Global Reach: With operations in over 20 countries and direct B2B relationships with major telecom operators, a NASDAQ listing is expected to enhance IQSTD global visibility and allow partners, customers, and vendors worldwide to invest in the Company — opening the door to thousands of new potential shareholders.

NASDAQ listing opens a new era of opportunities for IQSTD

Enhanced Credibility: The IQSTD uplisting solidifies relationships with key customers who value transparency and the governance standards of a national exchange.
Accelerated M&A: The uplisting enables acquisitions and mergers with larger, high-quality companies as IQSTD persues its roadmap to become a $1 billion revenue company with sustainable profitability.
Institutional Access: IQSTD will be on the radar of institutional investors and leading technology firms—many of whom are restricted by their investment policies from investing in OTC-listed or sub-$3 stocks.
Visibility to Tech Buyers: Increased exposure to global tech corporations seeking to acquire fast-growing, revenue-generating platforms. IQSTD has built a world-class, scalable, and hard-to-replicate global connectivity infrastructure that is ready for expansion. A NASDAQ listing helps solidify and highlight the intrinsic value of the Company's business infrastructure.
Short Seller Protection: The current uplisting also helps mitigate the negative effects of short selling, thanks to NASDAQ's stronger regulatory framework.

A Direct Listing—With No Dilution

IQSTD is not raising capital as part of the uplisting because it already meets the required stockholders' equity requirement. This approach avoids dilution and preserves shareholder value. Additionally, the Company's main investors have extended the maturity of their instruments to Q1 2026, providing greater stability and reaffirming their confidence in the IQSTD long-term trajectory.
