IQSTEL Inc. (IQSTD), a dynamic player in the telecommunications, fintech, AI, and cybersecurity sectors, is gearing up for a direct NASDAQ uplisting. This strategic move is bolstered by a lean share structure, featuring only 2.6 million outstanding shares, which is expected to benefit shareholders by avoiding dilution commonly associated with capital raising.

The company recorded a remarkable financial performance in 2024, reporting $283.2 million in revenues, reflecting a robust 95.9% growth compared to the previous year. IQSTEL has set an ambitious target to reach $1 billion in revenue by 2027, driven by organic growth and strategic acquisitions across its divisions.

Q1 2025 results showcased continued momentum with $57.6 million in revenue, up 12% year-over-year, and an improved gross margin of 3.36%. The upcoming NASDAQ listing is anticipated to broaden IQSTEL's investor base, enhancing visibility and accessibility to international and institutional investors.

Additionally, IQSTEL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to sell its blockchain-focused subsidiary, ItsBchain, to Accredited Solutions, Inc. (ASII). As part of this transaction, $500,000 in ASII shares will be distributed directly to IQSTEL's shareholders, underlining the company's commitment to delivering tangible value to its investor base.
