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 supports the company's ambitious target of reaching $1 billion in revenue by 2027. The global connectivity, AI, and digital company has built its diversified revenue stream through 12 strategic acquisitions since 2018, creating a business portfolio that is approximately 80% telecommunications and 20% fintech.
The company's acquisition strategy remains active, with plans to acquire two to three additional businesses as part of its roadmap to achieve $15 million in EBITDA by 2026. IQSTEL also acquired Reality Border, an AI firm that now serves as the company's R&D division focused on developing proprietary AI-driven solutions. CEO Leandro Iglesias stated that their forecast reflects the strength of their business platform and ability to deliver consistent, organic growth while preparing for high-margin expansion.
A significant development in IQSTEL's growth strategy is 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 for global telecommunications and enterprise markets, potentially creating a new high-margin revenue stream. As part of the agreement, both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding to become mutual equity partners following a planned $1 million stock exchange and committed to delivering a $500,000 dividend to shareholders by December 31, 2025.
The partnership provides strategic advantages for both companies. IQSTEL gains access to Cycurion's U.S. market presence and government sector relationships, while Cycurion accesses IQSTEL's global telecommunications customer base. Iglesias emphasized the strategic value, noting that this partnership with Cycurion, whose specialized solutions are trusted by the U.S. government, not only broadens their capabilities but also enhances the trust they bring to global telecom and enterprise customers. The companies plan to officially launch cybersecurity solutions at the largest global telecom event in 2026.
Wall Street firm Litchfield Hills has expressed optimism about the partnership, maintaining a buy rating and $18 price target on IQSTEL. Analyst Barry Sine noted that the deal structure ensures both companies have skin in the game and increases the likelihood of meaningful execution. The firm views the cybersecurity expansion through Cycurion as complementary to IQSTEL's fintech push through its Globetopper acquisition, creating a broader high-margin service suite for telecom partners.
IQSTEL's diversified growth approach combines strategic acquisitions, organic expansion, and strategic partnerships across telecommunications, fintech, and now cybersecurity. The company has demonstrated consistent execution and disciplined management across its operations, with the cybersecurity partnership representing another strategic lever in its path toward the $1 billion revenue target for 2027.
