You're right. This specific 6% increase in shares, the options agreement, is said to be for another acquisition that has not been announced yet so we do not know what value it will specifically add. But we do know with the QXTEL acquisition and organic growth they are very likely to do 300M revenue this year which would be 114.3% YOY growth. My intent is not to convince people this specific couple million cash raised will actually add a single acquisition that will be responsible for 100% more revenue (140M) this year, that would be unrealistic. The intent is to make people understand the effect on the bigger picture. How successful thier M&A campaign is and to understand how dilution is contributing towards that. And how to determine if dilution is actually hurting you or helping you. Without acquisitions, there would be no cross selling and the organic growth would be minimal. 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.
It's about knowing your audience. And the reality is the vast majority of retail investors, people reading message boards and watching youtube videos, do not know how to calculate the effects of dilution. In my experience, most don't even actually understand market cap. I know a ton of people who invest, but very few who can actually explain how to calculate a P/S or P/E ratio, they have never done it. And for every person commenting on these boards, there are likely 50 more just reading the comments. That's why I explained it in my videos by breaking it down into revenue per share charts. That shows the exact correlation between revenue and shares both increasing YOY. Last year people thought Apollo dilution was literally destroying the company. But reality was, in 2023 we saw 6% dilution that was offset by 50.2% growth and revenue per share increased 42%. There was significant value added last year. Without someone explaining it to them, at least 95% of retail would never understand that. They see bears on the message boards talking about how bad dilution is, and without someone attempting to educate them on how to calculate the effects, that's all they're gonna go on. "Just another OTC diluting, gonna have billions of shares soon and go bankrupt" lol. It's manipulation, create fear and push the price down which is easy when it's all retail investors and retail is ignorant. In a video I explained how I actually anticipate like 9% to 14% dilution this year while I expect revenue to be at least 300M this year for revenue per share to increase like 84-94% YOY, more if/when they close a second acquisition adding an unknown amount of revenue. I try to explain in a way that people learn so they can verify themselves and apply that knowledge when investing in the future.
Long way if saying 6% dilution isn't hurting us and it's not something to go selling your shares over lol. Not a financial advisor tho, just my personal opinions.
