IQSTEL Projects 26% Revenue Growth for 2026, Expands into Cybersecurity Through Strategic Partnership

IQSTEL Inc. expects double-digit organic revenue growth in 2026, projecting 26% topline growth as the company continues to diversify its revenue streams across telecommunications, fintech, and artificial intelligence. The global connectivity company is targeting 2026 organic revenue of $430 million, up from the $340 million it anticipates for this year, following last year's revenue of $283 million. This growth trajectory reflects IQSTEL's consistent execution and disciplined management across its diversified operations, building on a track record of meeting or exceeding financial forecasts.

The company's growth strategy combines strategic acquisitions with operational excellence, having completed 12 acquisitions since 2018 that have shaped its current revenue mix of approximately 80% telecommunications and 20% fintech. IQSTEL's acquisition of Reality Border now serves as its R&D division, focused on developing proprietary AI-driven solutions. The company plans to acquire two to three additional accretive businesses as part of its roadmap to achieve $15 million in EBITDA by 2026 while maintaining focus on profitable organic growth. CEO Leandro Iglesias emphasized that their forecast reflects the strength of their business platform and ability to deliver consistent organic growth while preparing for high-margin expansion.

Beyond acquisitions, IQSTEL is expanding through strategic partnerships, most notably with AI cybersecurity company Cycurion Inc. This partnership marks IQSTEL's entry into the cybersecurity market and creates a new potentially high-margin revenue stream. The collaboration involves creating and selling AI cybersecurity products and solutions for global telecommunications and enterprise markets, with plans to officially launch these solutions at the largest global telecom event in 2026. The partnership includes a Memorandum of Understanding for mutual equity partnership following a planned $1 million stock exchange, with both companies agreeing to deliver a $500,000 dividend to shareholders by December 31, 2025.

Wall Street analysts view the cybersecurity expansion positively, with Litchfield Hills maintaining a buy rating and $18 price target on IQSTEL. The firm noted that the deal structure ensures both companies have skin in the game, increasing the likelihood of meaningful execution rather than symbolic arrangement. Analyst Barry Sine highlighted that pairing cybersecurity through Cycurion with fintech through GlobeTopper broadens IQSTEL's high-margin service suite to telecom partners, better positioning the company to increase revenue and EBITDA while deepening partnerships beyond reliance on connectivity services alone.

This strategic expansion into cybersecurity complements IQSTEL's broader growth objectives, including its stated goal of achieving $1 billion in revenue by 2027. The company's diversified approach combining organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and new market entries through partnerships positions it for sustained profitability and long-term shareholder value creation across multiple high-growth technology sectors.
