IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) expects double-digit organic revenue growth in 2026, projecting a 26% increase to $430 million from the $340 million anticipated for 2025. This growth trajectory positions the global connectivity, AI and digital company closer to its stated goal of achieving $1 billion in revenue by 2027. The company has demonstrated consistent execution through a combination of strategic acquisitions and operational excellence, having completed 12 acquisitions since 2018 that have shaped its diversified revenue stream, which is now approximately 80% telecommunications and 20% fintech.
The company's expansion strategy extends beyond organic growth through a recent partnership with AI cybersecurity company Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU), marking IQSTEL's entry into the cybersecurity market. This collaboration involves creating and selling AI cybersecurity products and solutions for global telecommunications and enterprise markets, representing a potentially high-margin revenue stream for the company. As part of the agreement, both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding to become mutual equity partners following a planned $1 million stock exchange.
This strategic move into cybersecurity complements IQSTEL's existing fintech operations through its purchase of Globetopper, broadening the company's high-margin service suite to telecom partners. The partnership structure ensures both companies have significant investment in the success of the collaboration, with each company agreeing to deliver a $500,000 dividend to their shareholders by December 31, 2025. Companies may satisfy this dividend obligation either in their own stock or in shares received from the stock exchange.
Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion, stating that the partnership with Cycurion, whose specialized solutions are trusted by the U.S. government, not only broadens the company's capabilities but also enhances trust with global telecom and enterprise customers. The company plans to officially launch these new cybersecurity solutions at the largest global telecom event in 2026.
Wall Street analysts have responded positively to the company's strategic direction. Litchfield Hills, which maintains a buy rating and $18 price target on IQSTEL, noted that the Cycurion deal represents a strategic lever with asymmetric upside rather than merely a symbolic arrangement. The firm highlighted that by pairing cybersecurity with fintech, IQSTEL is better positioned to increase revenue and EBITDA while deepening partnerships beyond reliance on connectivity services alone.
IQSTEL's acquisition strategy remains active, with plans to acquire two to three additional accretive businesses as part of its roadmap to achieve $15 million in EBITDA by 2026. The company also acquired Reality Border, an AI firm that now serves as IQSTEL's research and development division, focused on developing proprietary AI-driven solutions. This balanced approach combining innovation, efficiency, and scale positions the company for sustained profitability and long-term shareholder value as it progresses toward its ambitious revenue targets.
