Boiler There are several approaches to valuing a stock. One of them is net assets per share. Another is the p/s ratio. My favorite for companies that are growing fast is the p/e ratio. One view is that companies that can be expect their earnings per share to grow at a rate of for instance 40% for at least a few years into the future should have a p/e ratio of 40.
uigley24 I hope you are right. I own about 93,000 shares.

I think one dollar is not a steal right now. This stock seems very cheap in relation to expected revenues this year. But earnings per share are likely to not be that impressive. It seems pretty hazy what earnings per share can be expected during 2025. It is simply too early to assess where the stock price ought to be right now in my view.
Pob "Teens by end of week? (Asking for a friend.)" Hardly. It is .23 right now.
Thanks Laxmi! It is impossible for me to log in to see the "secret information" I have received. An expert I hired was unable to do it. I look forward to receiving the same information in my new gmail account.
Petrejus It was the impression of the expert who handled my computer that Telenor refused to cooperate with gmail the result being that it was impossible to see the secret informationfor me. RD stated that I had 8 days to open it. If I am unable to do it I will lose my 750,000 tokens. I guess it will be very easy to send it to my gmail account today, as I suggested.
Petrejus I have now done as much as I think is possible for me to do. I have had an expert to create a gmail address for me. i have asked the support for Laxmi to send another e-mail with the secret information to that e-mail address. If that does not happen I t hink I have to face the loss of my 750 000 tokens
MM I agree about teleprompter and that somebody else has probably written his speech.
aandt Thanks for the links! He seems to be a very interesting person from an investor point of view as well. His association with our company appears to be very promising although there is no assurance of a big gain for us.
Petrejus Thanks for your information! Today I have got help from a professional to create a gmail account and I have the password. I will test whether it works tomorrow morning. But I am now able to read a newspaper that I could not read after the Google problems arose. I just wonder if I have to return some information to Laxmi's people if I am able to access the information I have not been able to open so far.
Boiler I strongly applaud your efforts to educate those who read this board. I think the following is important: " QXTEL's 80M is just the start. Cross selling with IQST they should see a significant increase in sales immediately that will continue strong growth for years, iqst has a proven track record for success doing that. "
Boiler "100% more sales obviously offsets 6% more shares." Generally I think you argue well but I cannot understand why the deal in question results in 100% more sales. I have seen the figure 300 million dollars mentioned regarding the current year I think. I have the impression that the most recent acquisition contributes 80 million dollars, which is less than a third of 300 million dollara. Moreover, the profitability, which is the important thing and not sales, is pretty marginal at less than 1.5%. I have a feeling that you extol the acquisition more than warranted.
karla You ask the wrong person. I am no insider.
RD I also have the option to contact others that I have to pay tomorrow to come home to me to get me a Google password. The help on Wednesday would have been free of charge.
RD Do these 8 days relate to the day I received the e-mail I cannot open? I received that information on Thursday February15. That means that the last day I can open it is Friday in the coming week. This means that at least I will have a couple of days to open it if I get the Google password on Wednesday. If I don't get the help I need it might be possible to e-mail it in a less secure way on Thursday in the coming week?
Dear Laxmi
I have been in communication with your daugther L... I did not realize that time may have run out before I can open the first message e-mailed me. Are you willing to see to it that it is e-mailed in what is possibly a less secure way so that I can open it tomorrow? I am able to open other e-mails straight away. I guess the very important information could be opened in the ordinary way too? At least I feel I have more or less done my best to retain the right to my 750,000 tokens.
RD Your information makes me nervous.
Petrejus What you suggest was more or less what I tried to communicate in my first response when I was unable to open my e-mail. I got no response. I assume that they will not be happy to do that because of a feeling that it would reduce the safety of the communication. I am ready to go through a good deal of hassle because so much seems to be at stake. The money will presumably end up in Nigeria when I die and reduce the number of teenagers who give birth to children at too early a stage in their lives. I have written a will ensuring that. I feel a moral duty to do my best for these girls.
I have just watched the video. I wonder if he has written this very well-formulated speech himself. What background does he have that qualifies him for his new role? One gets the impression that he has become the head of a big company that can achieve a lot in his country. Up to now I have had the impression that HERB operated on a very small scale in the Philippines. I need more information for the video to make sense to me.
Boiler "The acquisition announcement PR said, "the addition of QXTEL will further boost the Telecom Division of IQSTEL to forecast $3 million of positive operating income annually." This information makes it natural to ask what percentage of revenue comes from the Telecom Division of IQSTIL.
Petrejus My current understanding is that I don't need a gmail account. But I need to access my Google password before my e-mail account can open the information I have received. I assume this requirement is to increase the safety of the communication of the information. On Wednesday I am to hope to meet a person who will help me to get a new Google password. I have informed the support of MyCow(?) of this.
Boiler Thanks! The profitability of the acquisition was new to me. It gives a good basis for assessing the price paid. It suggests to me that profitability is pretty marginal and it would have been more useful to focus on the contribution to future earnings per share than on revenues when assessing the acquisition. One million dollar in increased earnings seem to be paid for by 6% dilution. This looks like a good deal to me.
Boiler Do you have a guess regarding after tax profits this year?
Dear Laxmi Part of the following is expressed in such a complicated way that it may be misunderstood. "(c) As Snow rightly pointed out, 1 performer will offset the entire $0.09 cents investments of which 99% of the subscribers except a few like snow have invested only 4-5 verticals (they are hoping to pay for the remaining out of cash grant (which means it does not cost anything))."
I paid for my stakes in all the 9 verticals months ago, whereas some others have only paid for their stakes in 4-5 verticals and intend to pay for the rest out of the cash grants they receive. I hope this is a bit clearer as far as I myself is concerned at least.
RD Most investors are happy with a 100-bagger!
Petrejus I have come to understand that my current e-mail address is acceptable and that I don't need gemail. Even so, Google is the problem. The reason is that it is impossible to see the text I have received without going to my Google account. To do so I have to enter my password. I have lost my password and I have tried for hours to establish a new password to no avail. It is a catch 22-situation as far as I rememer. I have first to enter a code sent to me by e-mail. The code is valid for a limited number of seconds. It takes some time to go from my e-mail to the website where the code is to be entered. When I do it it is no longer valid!!! Google appears to be too poor to have a phone number in Norway that I can call or an e-mail address that I can contact. I have contacted a couple of people who I hope can help me to get a new Google password. I am to meet such a person on Wednesday.

I applaud that the gross profit margin is presented as gross profit margin and not profit margin. I doubt that a guess of a net profit margin of 9 % is concervative but that is anybody's guess.
Boiler It is amazing how stupidly the stock market is in its reaction to this financing. The clash between moronic traders who think a few days ahead and investors who think long term here comes to a head.
Petrejus Thanks!
paperman The ambition is to uplist to NASDAQ. I assume that a reverse split may be necessary if that is to happen during the next couple of years. An additional point that although most shareholders are traders who are only interested in what happens some of the shareholders are interested in the facts that are the most important ones for NASDAQ companies. I belong to the latter group.
MM There was a reference to safe communication. A few years ago I actually received the contract of more than 30 pages in relation to IREEEM/Cow Capital in my national e-mail address. I don't if it relates to my private key. If the wrong person gets access to it he or she may steal the tokens from me.
RD Because I paid so little for the tokens it does not take much for me to be happy about my investment in the verticals. But a new problem has arisen for me that I have taken a couple of initiatives to solve. Laxmi's people make the digital wallet for me but they would like to e-mail some information using gmail. I don't have gmail and I have lost the the Google password I need to do that. Google appears to be so poor that it has no phone number I can call in my country to get some help or an a-mail address in my country that I can send a request for help to.
karlacorn I disagree with you. The verticals represent a technology that has not been used extensively so far even, if it is being taken into more and more use. My experience over 50 years is that venture companies are extremely risky. During the 1980s I was on the board of a venture company that was listed on the stock exchange in my country. About 90% of the companies we invested in failed totally.
Based on my experience as an investor over 50 years I regarded the verticals as very risky. But we paid very little for our tokens. Therefore the risk/reward ratio looked very good even if it to me looked like a very risky investment. I go for high risk/high revard. I therefore invested about 7,500 dollars in the 9 verticals, which turned out to be how much I was entitled to invest. I have noticed that the transfers of the rice tokens has increased to an interesting level this week. I think that this is a suggestion that at least some of the verticals will not be total failures. It will be sufficient for our investment in 9 tokens to be a good investment if just one of the 9 verticals is a moderate success. If one of them is worth 20 cents we will do well.
Lindsay 2010 I get the impression that this company is close to profitability. There is no p/e ratio because there are no profits. The p/s ratio (market cap in relation to sales) is very low though. Walmart that used to have a net profit margin between 2- 3% has a p/s ratio of about 0.6. If IQST has sales of about 250 million dollars this year and a market cap now a bit less than 50 million dollars the p/s ratio is as low as about 0.2. Compared with the numbers of Walmart a profit margin of 1% would be sufficient to justify the current pps if profitability had been the only thing that counts as far as the stock price is concerned. If the net profit margin had been 5% a stock price 5 times the current pps would result based on the same criteria. In my view the crucial question is what are future earnings per share likely to be. On NASDAQ that is a very important criterion.
shotsky "And, they have begun lowering the AS". The A/S is now 5.8 billion. This is very close to what it has been for 15 years. If it has been lowered symbolically it has no practical importance.
MDA "Let's be real, with the all the "news" that these tickers have released, in 2020-2021 they would have gone absolutely parabolic. Yet, it simply has not happened, at all."
I suggest we deal with SPZI. I think there are several reasons why the pps is where it is despite good news being presented every week. One reason is that those who buy otc stocks are mostly very short-term in their approach. They want the pps to explode and often lose their patience if that does not happen. The pps of SPZI soared to 1.21 cent some weeks ago but has been trading between about 0.52 cents and 0.89 cents since then. Good news only has short-term effect on the pps it appears. Why would an otc-speculator expect the pps to soar now after having noticed that good news does not have much effect on the pps?
It is worth noting that there is no heavy selling of shares in relation to the float of more than 5,000 million shares. The pps does not rise because there is so little buying.
From a fundamental point of view the shares are now very cheap if the fully executed contracts are real. The stock market assumes that there is a very high risk that this is not the case. It hardly increases credibility when pumpers do the best to mislead the stock market. They claim from time to time that the profit margin on contracts that are very big is about 18%. Some use a p/e ratio in relation to this profit margin. The truth is that 18% is an assumed gross profit margin. We know nothing about the net profit margin, which is what matters. The fact that such strongly misleading information is communicated by pumpers I guess leads to a high degree of distrust. There is light buying because it is impossible to be reasonably certain what the real state of affars is. The latter relates to investors who might buy the stock for the longer term.
But if we get quarterly reports in some months we will see how the company is doing in practice. If the numbers of achieved net profits are good I expect the stock price to be gradually adjusted to these facts.
irish What is the shareholder network that provides this extremely misleading information?
irish I had expected better than this from you. The reference is to a profit margin of 18% and a p/e ratio of 10 is applied. That is TOTAL nonsense. It is the gross profit margin that is supposed to be 18%. It might be 18% at the same as there were no net profits at all. The p/e ratio is always based on the net profits after taxes. I have up to now thought you were well-informed and not totally clueless. Your post shows that your ignorance is shocking.
Gigant Should management have humored the stupidity of the otc morons?
Belg I think I stated that sales or revenues are a condition for generating profits. The profit margin varies a lot between different types of businesses. I think the profit margin of Microsoft is way higher than that of Walmart. Therefore it makes little sense to be concerned with revenues only and ignore the degree of profitability the way it was done in the very interesting video.
