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.

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.

Included in the IQST letter was the following commentary:

In 2025, IQST successfully completed its uplisting to NASDAQ through a Direct Listing. This milestone achievement was the result of years of disciplined execution, transparency, and a steadfast commitment to building a scalable and profitable business. The NASDAQ listing significantly enhances IQST visibility, credibility, and access to institutional capital as the Company continues executing its long-term growth strategy.

Strong Revenue Growth and Improving Profitability

IQST achieved a revenue run rate of approximately $400 million, reaching this level 5 months ahead of plan. The business generated an Adjusted EBITDA run rate of approximately $2.7 million, reflecting continued progress toward sustainable profitability.
