💥BREAKING NEWS: IQST declares plan for $500,000 stock dividend
Hey Folks, Jeff Bishop here,
Stocks are choppy this morning in view of a looming government shutdown.
That sounds more ominous than it really is, and the most likely impact is just a lid on any big upside moves in the indexes.
That’s why I’m looking for smaller stocks with breakthrough potential.
My “tactical trade” idea for today is a multinational telecom and tech company with operations in 21 countries and “commercial relationships spanning 600+ of the world’s largest telecom operators.”
💥Go ahead and pull up iQSTEL Inc. (IQST) on your favorite trading platform.
The company announced a reverse split in early May in anticipation of its May 14 uplisting to the Nasdaq.
After an initial post-uplisting drawdown, the stock surged 96% in just two trading days.
That’s typical of microcap names when they first gain access to broader liquidity.
That enthusiasm faded from June through August, but over the last few weeks, it looks like IQST may have formed a base around $6.10–$6.40.
That type of basing, especially after months of steady selling, often precedes a relief rally.
On the upside, I’m watching for a push through ~$6.90, which would confirm a momentum shift. In that case, we could see a move to the $7.50–$8.00 level.
On the other hand, if we see a move below $6.10, that would mean a broken base and I would wait for a better entry.
The company itself is pursuing a diversified growth strategy and has recently completed a major acquisition.
If management executes well in upcoming quarters, I think it’s a candidate for a sharp upside move.
Here are the top things to know:
IQST is on a steep growth trajectory
In 2024, the company almost doubled its revenue, going from around $144 million to $283 million — that’s a 96% year-over-year surge.
As the company noted, “We are not just growing — we are scaling at an exponential rate!”
And it hasn’t slowed down…
In a September 24 shareholder letter, IQST highlighted $35 million revenue in July, “surpassing a $400M annual run rate five months ahead of schedule.” [emphasis added]
$400 million in annual revenue would mark a 41% jump over the 2024 figure.
The company said it remains “on track toward achieving our $1 billion revenue target by 2027 and our $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026.”
Most telecom companies stick in their lane, but IQST is surprisingly diversified…
It’s in traditional telecom like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), SMS, and roaming, but also fintech — it’s enabling “financial access with remittance services, mobile top-ups, a MasterCard debit card, U.S. bank accounts without SSN, and a secure mobile app designed for unbanked and underbanked populations.”
It also offers “enterprise-grade cybersecurity” through its partnership with Cycurion (CYCU), “including 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, incident response, vulnerability assessments, and regulatory compliance solutions.”
In August, companies announced a $1 million stock swap, making Cycurion a true “sibling company.” “This relationship enables IQSTEL to deliver advanced cybersecurity services powered by Cycurion’s specialized U.S. government solutions.”
Plus, IQST is building AI tools with its Airwe.ai virtual assistants that support “customer service, entertainment, and transactional experiences across web and voice platforms.”
On July 1, IQST closed its acquisition of 51% of GlobeTopper (GlobeTopper.com), which was recognized by the Financial Times as one of “The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies 2024.”
GlobeTopper is a fintech remittance and mobile top-up company that’s expected to add “$34M revenue and positive EBITDA in H2 2025.”
IQST points out that this “does not yet include any additional upside from cross-selling or synergies with IQSTEL’s extensive commercial platform, which serves over 600 telecom operators globally.”
The company has a tight corporate structure with only 3.29 million shares in its float, which is minuscule in the small-cap world.
And it’s making smart exit plays — it sold its stake in itsBchain for $1 million, exceeding its original investment, clearing pre-revenue clutter, and keeping a 1% lifetime royalty while distributing shares to shareholders.
In May, IQST uplisted to the Nasdaq through a direct listing, “meaning no capital raise and no dilution to current shareholders.”
On June 11, the company reported that, “Over the last 10 trading days, IQST’s stock has traded over $35 million, effectively circling its market cap — a strong indication of investor interest and confidence in the company’s business model and growth prospects.”
And in the September 24 shareholder letter, it noted interest from 12 institutional investors, who now hold about 4% of IQST shares.
Final Thoughts
IQST isn’t some sleepy telecom stock. Its telecom backbone has fintech wings, AI capability, and a cyber shield.
That’s all packed in a lean, high-growth, low-dilution package.
With GlobeTopper fueling fintech revenue and NASDAQ uplisting momentum, it’s diversified and scaling up quickly.
It’s worth noting that analyst firm Litchfield Hills placed a “BUY” rating on IQST on July 2 with an $18 price target — 185% higher than yesterday’s closing price.
As you do your own research, be sure to review the company’s May 2025 investor presentation, its company website, and the investor letter from last week.
If you’re into growth plays, IQST is worth checking out while it’s still misunderstood — because that’s usually where the upside hides.
To Your Success,
Jeff Bishop

Just so you know, what you’re reading is curated content for which we have received a monetary fee (detailed below) to create and distribute. Let’s be clear that investing can be quite the roller coaster as stock prices can have wild swings up and down, so consider those crucial risks before you ever consider trading anything we discuss. Make sure you check out our full disclosure down below for the details on how we were paid, the risks, and why these results aren’t what you’d call “typical.”
Just a quick heads up about this ad you’re reading—as we’ve said, even though we like the company referenced above, and all the facts we discussed above are true to the best of our knowledge, we are running a business here. To distribute this information and help offset the costs of maintaining our large digital audience, in advance of writing the content above, we received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from CorporateAds for advertising iQSTEL Inc for a two day marketing program starting on September 30, 2025. Prior to this, we received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from CorporateAds for advertising iQSTEL Inc for a one day marketing program starting on July 15, 2025. Additionally, we also received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from CorporateAds for advertising iQSTEL Inc for a one day marketing program starting on July 8, 2025. It might seem obvious, but while our client claims not to own any shares in iQSTEL Inc, whoever ultimately paid them most likely owns shares. You should assume they are looking to sell some or all of them at any time after we send out this information, which might negatively affect the stock price. We may also buy or sell shares in the company at some point in the future, although neither Sherwood Ventures nor its owners own any shares of the company at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the sheer size of our audience, if even a small percentage of people decide they want to buy this stock, it could potentially boost interest enough to hike up those share prices and cause a temporary spike, and the opposite is possible as the marketing campaign ends, though that is not always the case.
Now, diving right into iQSTEL Inc might sound exciting. But remember, it’s like venturing into the wilderness—be aware that there’s exceptional risk involved in trading. This isn’t small potatoes we’re talking about; you could lose every dime you put in, so always carefully think about what you’re doing. That’s why they call this trading, after all. We’re shining a light on the good stuff about the company here, but it’s on you to do your homework, make your own calls, and determine a plan for your own trading, hopefully with the help of your professional 1nvestment advis0r.
Oh, that brings us to another crucial point—we’re not here to tell you (or even recommend) what you should do with your hard-earned money. We’re simply sharing our non-expert thoughts by highlighting some companies who are paying us and we like that could use some help telling their story to more people.

Also, keep in mind that if we make some predictions about the future, these are technically known as “forward-L00king statements” under the securities acts, so take those with a grain of salt. As with all forecasts, they’re not set in stone, often wrong, and we certainly can’t know where the Company’s earnings, business, or share price will be tomorrow or a year from now.
