IQSTEL Projects 26% Organic Growth, Expands into Cybersecurity Through Cycurion Partnership

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 this year. The company, which has grown through 12 strategic acquisitions since 2018, maintains diversified operations across telecommunications, fintech, and artificial intelligence. CEO Leandro Iglesias emphasized the company's focus on delivering consistent organic growth while preparing for high-margin expansion, stating their approach combines innovation, efficiency, and scale to position IQSTEL for sustained profitability and long-term shareholder value.

The company'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. IQSTEL's diversified revenue stream currently consists of approximately 80% telecommunications and 20% fintech, supplemented by its AI division Reality Border, which serves as the company's R&D arm focused on developing proprietary AI-driven solutions. This balanced growth model supports the company's path toward its stated goal of achieving $1 billion in revenue by 2027.

Beyond acquisitions, IQSTEL is expanding through strategic partnerships, most notably with AI cybersecurity company Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU). This collaboration marks IQSTEL's entry into the cybersecurity sector and creates a new, potentially high-margin revenue stream. The partnership 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 Cycurion partnership includes a Memorandum of Understanding for mutual equity partnership following a planned $1 million stock exchange. Both companies have committed to delivering a $500,000 dividend to their shareholders by December 31, 2025, which may be satisfied either in company stock or shares received from the stock exchange. Iglesias highlighted that Cycurion's specialized solutions, trusted by the U.S. government, broaden IQSTEL's capabilities and enhance trust with global telecom and enterprise customers.

Wall Street firm Litchfield Hills, which maintains a buy rating and $18 price target on IQSTEL, views the Cycurion deal favorably. Analyst Barry Sine noted that the partnership structure ensures both companies have skin in the game, increasing the likelihood of meaningful execution rather than symbolic arrangement. The firm believes 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.

IQSTEL's strategic moves into cybersecurity complement its existing fintech operations and support its broader growth trajectory. The company maintains a strong track record of meeting or exceeding financial forecasts while demonstrating consistent execution across its diversified operations. With cybersecurity solutions coming online in 2026, additional acquisitions planned, and continued organic growth, IQSTEL continues advancing toward its ambitious revenue targets while expanding its service portfolio and market reach.
