IQSTEL Targets $1 Billion Revenue by 2027 Through Strategic Growth and Cybersecurity Expansion

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's diversified operations span telecommunications, fintech and artificial intelligence, with current revenue streams approximately 80% telecommunications and 20% fintech.

The company's growth strategy combines both acquisitions and organic expansion. Since 2018, IQSTEL has completed 12 strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Reality Border, which now serves as the company's R&D division focused on developing proprietary AI-driven solutions. The acquisition strategy continues with plans to acquire two to three additional accretive businesses as part of the roadmap to achieve $15 million in EBITDA by 2026. CEO Leandro Iglesias emphasized that "our forecast reflects the strength of our business platform and our ability to deliver consistent, organic growth while preparing for high-margin expansion."

A significant development in IQSTEL's expansion comes through its partnership with AI cybersecurity company Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU), marking the company's entry into the cybersecurity sector. The collaboration involves creating and selling AI cybersecurity products and solutions for global telecommunications and enterprise markets, representing a new potential high-margin revenue stream. The partnership includes a Memorandum of Understanding for mutual equity partnership following a planned $1 million stock exchange, with both companies committed to delivering a $500,000 dividend to shareholders by December 31, 2025.

The strategic importance of this cybersecurity expansion extends beyond revenue diversification. According to Iglesias, "This partnership with Cycurion, whose specialized solutions are trusted by the U.S. government, not only broadens our capabilities but also enhances the trust we bring to our global telecom and enterprise customers." The companies plan to officially launch these new cybersecurity solutions at the largest global telecom event in 2026, with cross-selling opportunities that leverage Cycurion's U.S. market presence and government relationships alongside IQSTEL's global telecommunications customer base.

Wall Street analysts have responded positively to IQSTEL's strategic moves. Litchfield Hills, which maintains a buy rating and $18 price target on IQSTEL, noted that the structure of the Cycurion deal ensures both companies have significant stake in the partnership's success. Analyst Barry Sine described the alliance as "a strategic lever with asymmetric upside, not just another marketing tie-up," highlighting how pairing cybersecurity with fintech through previous acquisition Globetopper positions IQSTEL to increase revenue and EBITDA while deepening partnerships beyond connectivity services.

IQSTEL's consistent execution and disciplined management across its diversified operations have established a track record of meeting or exceeding financial forecasts. The company's balanced growth model combining innovation, efficiency and scale demonstrates a strategic approach to sustained profitability and long-term shareholder value creation. With the cybersecurity partnership coming online in 2026 and additional acquisitions planned, IQSTEL continues building momentum toward its ambitious $1 billion revenue target for 2027 while expanding its service suite in high-margin areas that complement its core telecommunications business.
