Is that what happened ?
Now Mite, you know that we go red on good news days.
What Just Happened?
Was that a Sell and a Buy to bring that Down .03
From The High Today? Shame !!
The monthly gain of $6.5 million in customers through acquisition is redoubled in performative importance because of the $3 million in new customer sales obtained via marketing. Can you please be less moronic?
"The company recently reported more than $50 Million revenue for Q1 FY2024, and now is reporting $27M just for the month of April alone." The stock market seems more shrewd than management may have realized in his apparent attempt at deception. Average monthly revenue seems to have been about 17 million dollars in the first quarter. What management does not say is that the month of April included the acquisition which had revenues of 80 million dollars or about 6.5 dollars per month last year. With some growth by the acquired company the growth then is reduced to about 3 million dollars instead of some 10 million dollars per month.
Boiler There are several big differences in my view. The very successful companies are almost always headed by extremely competent people. But it may be an advantage to have an absurdly high stock price in relation to the facts if it is used to sell a lot of shares at an absurdly high pps and that money is very well invested. Those investments may create good value.
The future is always unknown. Nobody can say with a high degree of uncertainty how this company will evolve. If the pps of this stock is over $ 1.5 in a year I will be very surprised. But I think it is more likely that not that it will be up nicely in a year. That is my honest assessment.
Will tap new 52 week high this week $$IQST$$

IQST – iQSTEL Announces $27M In Revenue for the Month of April; Company Could Surpass $250M in Revenue for FY 2024
NEW YORK, May 6, 2024 -- iQSTEL Inc. (OTC-QX: IQST) (www.iQSTEL.com) a US-based, multinational, fully reporting and audited publicly listed telecommunications and technology company preparing for a Nasdaq up-listing today announced achieving $27 million in revenue for the month of April based on preliminary accounting.
Management highlights that the April results indicate the company could exceed $250 million in revenue by year end FY2024. While iQSTEL recently announced a strategic acquisition bringing the company’s forward looking annualized revenue to over $250 million, achieving $250 million by year end FY2024 would surpass expectations.
The company’s gross profit surpassed $600,000 in April. The company achieved consistent operational profitability in Q3 last year. Management anticipates the profitability trend to continue with the company posting close to $2 million in gross profit per quarter.
The company recently reported more than $50 Million revenue for Q1 FY2024, and now is reporting $27M just for the month of April alone. Additionally, the Q2 gross profit per month is almost double the Q1 gross profit per month.
iQSTEL CEO Leandro Iglesias stated: “We are thrilled to be heading into the International Telecom Week (ITW) Conference in Washington DC having recently achieved status as a quarter billion dollar company. We have started this fiscal year with skyrocketing growth. We expect to have a notable Prescence at ITW. I look forward to sharing our experience with you.”
ITW (https://www.internationaltelecomsweek.com) is the world’s largest summit for digital infrastructure executives. More than 7,000 people from 125 countries, many from the largest operators in the world, are expected to attend this year’s conference in National Harbor, Maryland. The agenda offers a broad range of topic tracks for the telecoms industry, including Future Networks, Digital Divide, SatCom and Data Center.
So the primary difference that made those companies better is just the fact that they had a higher valuation? So at $5 SP iqst would be a buy, but at .33 it's not?
I believe average growth in wholesale telecom is 7% a year. They did 8x the average last year and are on track for like 13x the average industry growth this year. Do you place no value on that? Do you know of any other companies doing over 100M in sales that are growing over 100% this year and profitable? Fidelity's stock screener doesn't show any comparable companies. If you loosen the criteria to just 50%+ growth and over 100M revenue it brings up a decent list of companies but most are losing tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The ones listed that are profitable at all have market caps in the billions.
Fidelity is one of the largest asset managers in the world. Search over 100M revenue, over 100% growth, over $1 net income, and market cap under 100M. Exactly Zero results. After 2024 when IQST files their annual 10k with 100% growth and profitable they would be the only company on that list, except they are not going to have a market cap under 100M by then.
I think you're full of shit honestly. But if you're being genuine, I would suggest you stop looking at blue chip company valuations today as research, and look at what those companies valuations were back when they were doing what IQST is doing. And don't make dumbass excuses like their share prices were higher so it was different, that's exactly what we're talking about, IQST's share price should be higher. Idk how you can come on here telling people 58M market cap already has their potential priced into the valuation. That tells me you are either a fool, or here with bad intentions.
Boiler I concede that several of the leaders when it comes to market cap were operating at losses and had very high market caps for years before they became profitable. But there is an extremely important difference. There is something called virtuous and vicious circles. Those companies that had extremely high market caps despite big losses could sell shares and raise a lot of money to expand very fast with minimal dilution. If IQST were to sell shares to acquire quality companies there would be a lot of dilution because the pps is not absurdly high.
I note that TMUS has a net profit margin of about 10%. If that had been realistic for IQST in a few years I would have been much more optimistic when it comes to the future stock price. My assessments have been based on another company in telecom that had a net profit margin of 3%. It is crucial what net profit margin can be expected in a few years. The quality of management is crucial when it comes to future prospects. I listened for a while to the CEO of this company a few weeks ago. He did not convince me at all and came across as being mediocre. I have read some posts here about what has happened in the past. They suggest that there are a lot of bag-holders in this stock owing to poor past performance. That hardly bodes well for the future.
Boiler "Are you seriously dumb enough to value the company based on P/E ratios and 500k earnings?" You would seem to be way more stupid because you seem to think that a p/e ratio is based on quarterly operating income, which I referred to. Don't you take the projections of management seriously. My number was based on a projection he has repeated a couple of times as far as I remember. Of course I pay attention to more than earnings per share this year. You were happy with my referring to a certain company in telecom. It was well established but had a net profit margin of only 3 percent. It would seem that in a best-case scenario IQST can only hope for a very modest net profit margin.
A p/s of 1 is in my view too high in a best-case scenario several years into the future when a company that can be expected to grow close to 30% for years to come and last year had a net profit margin after full taxation of 13%, and even so had a p/s of less than 2 and trades on NASDAQ. It suggests that a NASDAQ listing is not a panacea for this company.
In fact I will not be surprised if this company generates net profits of 3 million dollars this year. That is actually more or less my expectation. It would imply a p/e ratio in the range 15 - 20 and would suggest that this stock is roughly fully priced. In a few years net profits may be 10 million dollars. But what will the O/S be if that happens. Of course worthwhile acquisitions don't come free of charge.
"Even a P/S ratio of 1 this year is like 300M revenue / 176.8M current shares = $1.70 SP." With a possible net profit margin of 1% a p/s of 1 is in my view far too high when a NASDAQ company that has a net profit margin of 13% trades at a p/s of less than two. A p/s of .15 would seem more realistic if the point of departure is that other company.
I know of course that IQST cannot be valued based on a p/e ratio based on the loss last year.
"And you're ignorant if you think they'll only do 500k." If I am ignorant you are dishonest. I referred to a number used by the CEO several times: operating income per quarter.
I never said this is a bad investment. My point of departure for my post was your absurd assertion om stocktwits that if this stock had been trading on NASDAQ the pps would have been 10 times what it is. How profits evolve during coming years will to a high degree depend on how much IQST will have to pay for coming acquisitions. That is unknown at this stage.
Netflix. First profitable year was 2003. Revenue that year increased 80% to 270M. Net income was only 7M. They closed 2003 with a market cap of 1.12 billion. That's a P/E ratio of 160 and a P/S ratio of 4.1. Same valuations for IQST would be dollars not pennies.
You want to know IQST's value? Look historically at the values of companies that did what IQST is currently doing. Turning profitable while growing over 100% the same year while doing hundreds of millions in sales. Not many companies have accomplished that. But the ones who did were worth a hell of alot more than 58 million, and most of them became blue chips. Don't listen to the bashers saying the company is worthless. Do some research and compare what other companies were valued at when they were in their early stages still showing hyper growth and slim margins then decide for yourself.
TMUS (T-mobile) is an excellent example Snow. Looking at their valuations, they first became profitable in 2013 showing a net income of 35 million. Their market cap in 2013 was 26.97 billion. That was a P/E ratio of 770. Google it.
Their revenue that year was 24.42 billion so the 26.97B market cap was a P/S ratio of 1.1 which was realistic and the kind of valuation I say is fair.
For IQST even your bearish guess of 2M net at the same P/E T-mobile had their first profitable year would be a market cap of 1.54B. With current shares of 176.8M that is a share price of $8.71
Because you aren't smart enough to understand the basics. As you said, "in anticipation of earnings". How much earnings are we anticipating this year, next year, and 3 years out? Are you seriously dumb enough to value the company based on P/E ratios and 500k earnings?
Value the stock based on 500k earnings if you want. But when they show like 3 million, increase your price target 6x. When they show 10M increase your price target 20x.
Why would IQST trade at a P/S of 2? Whatever, say it's worth a P/S of 1. This year sales are on track to double, so whatever valuation you came up with based on sales, in 7 months double it. Even a P/S ratio of 1 this year is like 300M revenue / 176.8M current shares = $1.70 SP.
Talk all the shit you want about low valuations based on earnings, but anyone with a brain knows you can't value the company on earnings when last year they showed a loss. "If" they only show 500k profit this year, they could easily 10x that to 5M next year. Then a dumbass like you is left wondering how the value increased 1,000% in only a year because you're the only one stupid enough not to project further ahead than 7 months. And you're ignorant if you think they'll only do 500k, QXTEL alone does over 1M net income and they were profitable before acquiring QXTEL.
You're annoying as fuck. It's like when you referenced T-mobile attempting to bash IQST based on T-mobile's current P/E ratio. So I looked at T-mobile's history and found their first profitable year when they were a high growth company with slim margins, they were trading at a P/E ratio of 770. That's because people knew earnings would increase significantly YOY. As you said, "in anticipation of earnings". And like I said, 500k to 5M is a 1,000% increase in earnings.
IQST improved their net income by 5 million YOY in 2023 and achieved profitability in Q3 and Q4. Gross profit increased 161% and gross revenue increased 55%. This year they're on track to grow over 100% and have told us margins continued to improve, and acquired another profitable subsidiary. No one in their right mind would say this is a bad investment.
100% right Bro $$$ IQST $$$$
A post on stocktwits states: "On Nasdaq, it would be worth 10x this value, and that's not an exaggeration. I imagine we'll be there soon." The implication is that it would have a value of more than 600 million dollars on Nasdaq despite the fact that the gross operating project repeatedly has been projected to be 500,000 dollars per quarter this year. A very successful company on Nasdaq had a net profit margin of 13% and grew its revenues 43% last year. It trades at a p/e ratio of about 13 in relation to anticipated earnings per share this year. Anybody who is curious about the ticker to see if I am veracious could ask oldman who has received it in a private message. Why would IQST that is barely profitable trade at a p/s (price in relation to sales) of about two when another Nasdaq listed company with excellent future prospects that has a net profit margin of 13% and a p/s of less than 2? (After reading the absurd optimism on stocktwits I could not suppress the temptation to write the above here because I am not entitled to post anything on stocktwits).
Funny thing is they don't even need the acquisitions to do it. They grew 55% last year and became profitable without any acquisitions. And Q1 was over 50M revenue so they were gonna blow past 200M this year on organic growth alone. These acquisitions are a nice bonus tho lol.
I think us looongs are all waiting for that great push upward that I believe is inevitable, as long as $IQST keeps acquiring profitable businesses increasing margins!!!
Geeeess We Just Can't Win Even When The
Market is Going Up Strong Today!!
I Was Just Hoping for another .03 Up Day
But Ohh Nooooo Not This Company :(
Almost 400,000 Share Holder Here !!
Sure wish i live long enough to see some of
these example moves that IQST Might Do !!
Swvl Holdings Corp. (SWVL), skyrocketing from
$0.62 to $14.72, marking a staggering 2,274% surge.
LifeMD, Inc. (LFMD), climbing from $1.14 to $12.01,
achieving an impressive 953% move.
Alarum Technologies (ALAR), soaring from $1.46 to $23.73,
for an astounding 1,525% move.
We need a power hour today
NO DOUBT AND MUCH SOONER THAN THOUGHT......NOW IS THE TIME TO GET IN.......AND HOLD......IQST ALL THE WAY
I do believe in five bucks and beyond I do, I do, I do.
5n10, I'm with you, but thinking .40 and pull backs subsiding.
$IQST
If we break .395 it's game on! $IQST!
First thing to look at is how many shares each company has. $17 share price may seem high, but if they only have 1M shares, that's a valuation of only 17 million. But if they have 1 billion shares, that's a valuation of 17B. So when comparing two companies and their stock prices, always compare market cap because one company may have 100x more shares issued than the other.
IQST only has 176.8M so market cap is about 60 million now.
I DO! I DO, I DO, I DO HAVE THE COJONES!!
I'M HERE FOR THE LOOOONG TERM.
COJONES???[,
OOOOHH! GUTS, BALLS, COURAGE!!!/b]
I am not going to get excited until I see 10 cent a share per day increases. That is the stuff runs are made of.
YES, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE COJONES, THIS IS ONE WHERE YOUR DREAMS WILL COME .TRUE.......IQST ALL THE WAY
Of course it was and I'm sure it took along time or high margin to get there in thr first place.
Wouldnt be here if I knew.
Patiently waiting for something to attract whales here. Still relatively young co. As I watch other mergers I see a pattern of time before things get rolling. Or for extremes wondering how a stock can maintain over $40 a share with small income and huge debt RIGHT FROM DAY ONE like $DJT?
Was that stock you mentioned on NASDAQ? If so, that’s why they were at $17 vs our .32.

Hey old man I have a question for you why is it that some stocks can lose 5 million a year and they're at $17 where is iqsd is breaking even and they're only at 32 cents is it popularity? Honest question
Then they will fail and we will all lose. Patience, time and organic growth will get us to $NASDAQ
Ignore it for a year, come back and we will be on $NASDAQ .
IMHO
We need to be on NASDAQ! this stock has to move up up up to meet the requirements to be listed. Otherwise, mgt may decide on a RS, buy back, etc. or some combination.

We can try to get our hopes up on this green day but
as we know there is not nearly any volume to keep
going up. The day traders of course will make something
so they of course will bring it back down,,, Sad story,,,,
Hoping sometime we can break out!!
Oops I meant to write 25-27 million as my guess for what reported April revs will be.
I suspect implementation of QXTEL'S DCB platform was very smooth and provided the means for IQST to know exactly when (2 weeks prior to Q end) it achieved $50 million in revenue. QXtel promotes its DCB as providing 30% in cost savings (margin improvements)...April revs will be 27 million at minimum up to 30 million (if growth is consistent)
Jan and Feb were both given the Tuesday following month end. But I'm sure you're right they already have the numbers and could release a PR today if they wanted to.
If QXTEL has their own proprietary platform it could save the company a considerable amount changing over all the subsidiaries bc those platforms are expensive and include annual costs, usually thousands per user. The problem could be whether or not it was designed to meet GAAP standards. QXTEL was private so they could've designed the system any way they wanted without US reporting standards in mind. I'd guess they wait a quarter and see what problems they do or don't identify. And then change over one subsidiary at a time if it makes sense. If QXTEL personally developed it, they're gonna have to be the 'IT Department" helping with the changeover, training people, and answering countess calls with questions. And considering how many different languages these employees speak, it could be a nightmare rolling it out. Do they even have a version in Spanish? I would almost think it'd be better to use a standard platform provided by a 3rd party with that support provided externally and change over QXTEL to standardize with the rest. IQST is getting too big to manage something like that internally, would require full time employees.
I suspect QXtel's proprietary Direct Customer Billing platform has already been fully itergrated across all IQST subdivisions entailing that monthly numbers are already available and can be made public at will
I agree. And the details of the agreement indicate it would be foolish to pay it off early. First 6 months of interest was preloaded, so no interest until 6 months in. Beyond that, if they pay it off early they're charged a 10% fee which is slightly more than the interest they'll owe over the last 6 months just paying on schedule when it's due. So I would not anticipate the loan being paid back until it's due next year regardless of whether or not they have the funds this year.
It makes no sense to waste early profits on the M2B note if their business use will produce higher returns than its cost. They will. And, as long as profits are growing, paying off the note with shares NEXT YEAR is perfectly reasonable if quarterly net profit remains insufficient. But I suspect these financing deals are being coordinated for high return expectations and that sp will hit $2-3 very soon and will manage an extended $8-12 peak over the next year. Lucky IQST holders will often repeat "it is a great time to be alive"
