That's not true. Vast majority of those shares literally cannot be sold. They are required to remain "available" as collateral for the loan where they borrowed money to fund the QXTEL acquisition. Until that loan is repaid, IQST is required to have shares available which would be issued if they default on repaying the loan. If the loan is repaid, the shares will not be issued. But in no way did this S-1A make more shares available "for sale". It increased the amount of shares backing the loan because they borrowed the remaining 1.5M in the loan agreement when they closed the QXTEL acquisition. It's all in the filings. Not a financial advisor, just a guy that actually reads the filings.
I am BULLISH but,
The S-1/A is not good.

Boiler "and it's clearly been stated that's their plan. Focus on growth reinvesting profits until they're doing over a billion dollars a year." The problem with your reasoning is that there is hardly any profits to reinvest. What net profit margin do you expect for 2025 based on your reasoning?
quigley "all in all not a bad day......" The pps down a bit less than 4%.... What is a bad day?
Boiler "My approach provides 10x the return in the long run, extremely higher profit later." Tuo me your approach looks simplistic. It is true that some of the companies with very high market caps have successfully adopted the approach you believe in in as much as they have operated at losses for many years during fast growth. AMZN is an outstanding example. But the point is that such companies require singularly outstanding leadership. They are often the leaders in their sphere of business. I find it hard to find how this company can be regarded as a leader in its business. In what way is it superior to its competition? Moreover, I am not impressed by the way the leader of this company expresses himself. He uses big words about the growth of revenue but I have not seen any explanation of how marginal profitability now will suddenly be transformed to high profitability in a few years.
As for my choice of stocks I speculate in I still own shares worth about 14,000 dollars in SPZI which I think is probably a scam because of the high potential for stock appreciation if it is not. If you are right there is also high potential in this stock. I personally don't expect that to happen though. But this stock is a lot less risky than SPZI in my view.
What happened with LDA Capital?
SLIMEY SHIT FROM THE KINGS OF SLIME
Every company files something standard like this S-1A on a Friday. It's an expected update with nothing new we didn't already know. Filing it mid week while the market is open would just scare investors and bashers would use it to mislead people spreading fear causing some people to sell before people had time to read and comprehend what it actually means...
My understanding.... It looks like M2B loaned them the additional 1.5M cash which they would use to pay the 1.5M cash due at closing as detailed in the QXTEL purchase agreement. That involved kicker shares, same as the initial 2M cash borrowed from M2B in relation to funding the acquisition. So the 3.5M shares mentioned were given to M2B as part of the funding deal. The other 35M shares mentioned are basically collateral for the loan. Since it's a convertible note, if IQST defaults M2B would convert the loan into shares of IQST stock, so IQST is required to have enough shares available until the loan is paid back. See the PR on February 13th where they explained this is a temporary "bridge loan" they intend to pay back. So the 35M shares should not be issued.
The other 10M shares mentioned is for the options agreement which we have heavily discussed. API is buying them.
Like I said, nothing unexpected. The S-1A is just increasing the amount of shares "available" because they borrowed the additional 1.5M cash to close the QXTEL acquisition.
My youtube channel has videos covering both the M2B funding deal and the options agreement in layman's terms. But, I'm not a financial advisor so do your own DD and verify everything yourself.
S-1A is out for your weekend reading pleasure. Of course released after hours, nice and slimy the way I like my stinky pinkies.
increase in revenue, year after year. Is a big deal. Specially with a steady growth My eye close too. And seem your eye are close too! Good Luck
You do it the other way around and it takes decades, even generations to become a big business. The average growth in this sector is only 7%. So going after industry average margins prioritizing profits means settling for industry average growth. At 7% annually, it would take 11 years to double in size.
Some hypothetical scenarios for understanding...
Scenario 1: IQST could have focused on margins after say 2020 having done 45M revenue and 10 years later, 2030, at 7% growth they'd only be at 88.5M revenue. So the outlook would be by 2030 they do 89M revenue and at say 10% profit they have 9M profit. At a 30 P/E they'd have a 270M valuation.
Scenario 2: They stayed focused on growth. They're on track for 1B revenue around 2027. Shift focus towards margins and profit then, and settle for industry average growth of 7% and the company still grows from 1B in 2027 to 1.23B by 2030 and at 10% profit has 123M profit. A 30 P/E would be a valuation of 3.69 billion.
Scenario 1 shows profit faster, but 10 years later it's still a microcap company no one has ever heard of and is only growing 7% a year so no one will ever hear of them. They won't be a billion dollar company in our lifetime. It would literally take another 30 to 40 more years to reach 1 billion in revenue. While scenario 2 takes longer to show good profits, once they do the company is worth 14x more. Same 10 year window, same 10% profit margins in the end, but a 14x difference in the company's value.
Amazon, selling books online... Founded in 1994, became public company in 1997 and didn't turn profitable until 2003. 9 years operating at a loss focusing on growth.
Netflix, mailing DVD's to people's houses... Founded in 1998, public in 2002 still operating at a loss, first profitable year in 2003. 5 years operating at a loss focusing on growth.
Countless examples...
IQST holding company created in 2018, first full profitable year looks like it'll be 2024 for 6 years operating at a loss focused on growth. They're literally following the blueprint laid out by most of the younger fortune 500 companies that were founded within the last 30 years. It's high risk / high reward, but now that they're crossing into profitability with Q3, Q4, and now sounds like Q1 all profitable, the risk is significantly lower. They don't have to raise cash to fund operations now, they're self sustaining and still growing over 100% this year. That's insane. What's the risk of them going bankrupt now? What's their profit potential 3-5 years out? Where will they be in 10 years? I'll take 100%+ growth and only 1% profit this year, over 7% growth and 10% profit because I'm planning to be here long term and I can see where the company is headed. Not everyone can, not everyone wants to invest that long, and not everyone believes it'll work out for IQST. And that's fine to each their own. But that's the track the company appears to be on, and it's clearly been stated that's their plan. Focus on growth reinvesting profits until they're doing over a billion dollars a year.
Not financial advice, just my personal opinion for discussion purposes.
Thanks for the health debate u two. As a novice, reading what has been said, outside of the name calling, has been educational for me. Both arguments have merit. Revenue should be followed by profit, or is it the other way around 🤔😂

all in all not a bad day.......glta
Institutions are just lining up for these margins lmao
One things for dang sure!! Boiler is 1 track minded and nothing more than a pumper!! He can’t be that ignorant to believe revenue is relevant with a loss lmao 🤣
Ya apparently I am stupid because I believe shifting focus toward margins and profitability with an agressive short term goal of 10% makes sense after achieving 1 billion in revenue for 100M profit. I don't think it would've been a good idea to do that while only at 50M revenue bc aggressively targeting 10% for 5M profit just isn't as much as 100M profit. Prioritize growth first, then shift towards profits. If you prioritize profits first, you remain a microcap forever. You don't grow 50-100% a year by being the most expensive guy in town with huge margins. Your approach provides a better return in the short term, more profit today. My approach provides 10x the return in the long run, extremely higher profit later.
Good thing the company aligns with my investment goals, that's why I'm here. But they don't seem to align with yours, here you are though. Tens of thousands of public companies to choose from, but you stick around with one you don't believe in that you think is doing everything wrong. If you're being genuine and honest, why in hell aren't you investing somewhere else instead of IQST? But I'm the stupid one.
Boiler Are you too stupid to grasp that my point is a traditional and general valuation of stocks: the present-day value of future cash dividends? It implies that the profits and not the revenues are the important thing. If you are able to convince ignorant shareholders of this stock that it is revenues and not profits that matter the stock price will reflect that misconception I guess. My view is that growing revenues fast is very good if profits increase very fast too. Revenues are of little value if they don't generate good profits.
I am no trader but an investor. I am not interested in 5% profits looking a few weeks ahead. I am more interested in what can be expected next year. If one scenario looks the most probable there is also a chance that things may be better than what looks most likely.
Luckily I live in a country where honesty prevails. Time and again opportunistic Americans state that they don't believe me when I state that I express negative views about a stock i state that I own shares in. I am delighted that I am no opportunistic person the way you seem to be.
All you fine investors and pumpers and bashers. There are only two questions. You should be asking. Is this company going to work for itself and shareholders? Or work itself and ___ shareholders? If it's first one ( I'm Holding). If it's the second one. I'll shit and get
Jokes on you, they don't have any plans to pay dividends and have told us so. They intend to reinvest all profits and continue focusing on growth for years. So you need to sell and invest in a different company that does focus on dividends.
As I've stated before.... Revenue increased over 50M last year (margins and profit improved significantly too) but focusing on revenue... You say that's irrelevant and does not warrant a higher SP. So according to that theory, if revenue had declined by 50M instead and they did 43M instead of 144.5M it wouldn't matter, the SP should remain the same because revenue is irrelevant right?
As for profits, they made it simple and did the math for you... PR clearly stated gross profit improved 161% YOY but you ignore that and act like nothing has changed. You said the other day when the stock was .38 you thought fair price was .40 (a 5% up side) and you're holding 220k shares. So an $83,600 investment in a volatile pennystock all because you believe there's 5% upside potential? I'm getting over 5% return guaranteed in a money market right now lmao. Clown. Just here bashing trying to disguise yourself as an actual shareholder long when clearly you are not.
Nickels I don't advise anybody to sell their shares in this company! I notice that hardly anybody here seems able to argue in a good way why this stock deserves a pps of several dollars per share. In my view it is very simplistic to assume that the most relevant basis for valuing a company is revenue. No value is created by increasing revenue if no profit is generated. It is profits that can be transferred to shareholders as cash dividends. In fact a common view is that the fair value of a stock is the present value of future cash dividends.
My view is that this stock right now is fully priced. If progress is reasonably good fair value may for instance increase 20% annually. Assuming a very good scenario it could appreciate a good deal faster. In a negative scenario the pps could move lower because the current super-thin profit margin might evaporate. Given this assessment I regard this stock as at least a hold.
You could always follow your own advice. Sell your shares and take a long short position Snow. Then at least your negative statements will make sense.
Boiler "Tell that to Smartbiz, acquired mid 2022 and expected to add 6M in annual revenue. The very next year did 16.5M revenue, per the 2023 10k and May 9, 2022 PR go verify it. That's 175% increase in sales 1 year after joining IQST, and we don't know how much the other subsidiaries increased their sales by cross selling with Smartbiz, but cross selling is the main driver of their organic growth."
As you know IQST has been losing money until the third quarter last year. What is the value of cross selling when you get so low a price for your products that the bottom line is a loss??????????????????????
Good Call Good Luck
AGREE.........WHEN IT HITS 5........I WILL HOLD FOR 10 DOLLARS.......IQST ALL THE WAY
Slow drip like this with the volume !! Normally has death written all over it !!
Bottom feeders arguing lmao!! Why don’t you make a chart to show him what you’re thinking!! You seem to mislead people quite well that way regularly and overlook reality!!
No one is melting here. I bought 2/19 and I am holding for 5 bucks and beyond and I will get it .
Boiler Increasing revenue does not necessarily create value. Are you stupid? It is the profits that revenues may or may not create that represent value. It is true that the ability to cross sell justifies a certain discount if a bit less than the full value is paid in an acquisition but it does not justify paying very little for the acquisition. My impression that you yourself lack itegrity because you ignore the importance of profits and overestimate the value of great sales that generate next to no profits. I doubt that you are so stupid that you really believe this is the case.You also lack integrity because you misrepresent what I have written. I stated that the point of departure is that an acquisition is worth what you pay for it. In some cases there is some extra value achieved for the reason you mention in other cases this does not work out.
Hell yeah boiler. Amen brotha
You claim not to be here bashing, not trying to discoursge buying, but everything you say is negative as fuck and usually inaccurate or misleading.
No extra value from an acquisition bc it's worth exactly what IQST pays for it...?
Tell that to Smartbiz, acquired mid 2022 and expected to add 6M in annual revenue. The very next year did 16.5M revenue, per the 2023 10k and May 9, 2022 PR go verify it. That's 175% increase in sales 1 year after joining IQST, and we don't know how much the other subsidiaries increased their sales by cross selling with Smartbiz, but cross selling is the main driver of their organic growth.
And the ability to cross sell and grow with IQST is a hell of an opportunity to improve your business and one reason they sell 51% to IQST so cheap, because the owner kept 49% and will benefit from the coming growth and synergies.
To go online telling people these acquisitions add no valua bc they're worth exactly what was paid and nothing more, isn't just ignorant, it's a flat out lie. You sir have zero integrity.
Finlay "This stock will shoot to $1 once they announce the new acquisition." Can you provide a link showing that there will be an acquisition worth more than 100 million dollars that can be acquired free of charge? If you buy something the buyer must usually pay a fair pricefor what is bought. Thus there is no extra value.
that would depend on the scope of acquisition and of course the S-1 that follows right?
iQSTEL's FY-2024 Q1 revenue exceeds $50 million based on preliminary accounting. This stock will shoot to $1 once they announce the new acquisition.

Yes, maybe they are or there will be some other ways to increase profit coming. I hope so, I didn't say they wouldn't. My point is time will tell, projections are speculation.
You are reiterating my point. This will take time and won't 10X overnight. To say otherwise is irresponsible, which to be frank, they have made such outlandish statements in the past. Uplisting to Nasdaq in 2019? 2020? 2021, 2022, 2023, do those pumps look responsible now? They didn't come from me.
maybe they are raising their unit pricing slowly but surely. Do you expect this company to go from A to D without going through B and C? They are evolving every quarter to be a better company. That is what is exciting.
vines3 What you write is so much nonsense. I will therefore ignore you.
This snow fellow has the typical liberal smartest prick in the room attitude and spews a lot of BS so I now choose to block him so I dont see anymore of his crap!
His conclusions are mere speculation, no different than any other. The one exception being possibly volume, he is everywhere pumping this, retorting to every post. It reeks of desperation, much like the PR that came today. Recycled hope. The little boy accounting types care about one thing, top line revenue. They made no profit last year, that is a fact. Two quarters of a rounding error size net income isn't profit. Maybe this year will be better, hopefully. Seven digit net income for 2024 would be what, .3% net with the often projected 300M gross rev. Less than a whisker away from failure. When this CEO says over seven digit net income he means $1,000,001, read the last few years of PR's. So the CEO states he will 2X the monthly net income this year while, while doubling revenue. He's either a fool, dishonest, or he's found his Superman cape lost at the cleaners.
Ask yourself where the funds for the next M&A is coming from, profits or shareholders. A sober person would tend to temper his SP expectations over the next couple years based on that.
moneyman I think this statement is so conservative and so general that it does not imply any real news. It does not imply any progress. The company has already been profitable for a couple of quarters last year and revenues are up in the last quarter too. Then comes the acquisition which if it is as profitable as last year will provide the minimum operating income projected for this year (one million dollars). I assume the CEO wants to communicate substantially increased profits this year compared with the running profits at the end of 2023. He is too conservative to do so. Thus my impression is that there is a conflict between his intentions and the words he uses to express them. Therefore I refer to him as foolish.
Snow, why is this "foolish" in your opinion? I work for a multi-billion dollar company that regularly makes quarterly statements relating to positive/negative financials and EPS projection. Whether or not they hit their EOY goals affects the SP up or down. There are things going on behind the curtains that allow the CEO to make statements of this type.
Since you are not behind the curtain, your speculative reply will go into the "everybody has an opinion" hat along with my opinion and we'll leave it there.
Best to all longs!
Leandro "We anticipate achieving a seven digit positive operating income this year"
In my view this statement implies a foolish CEO. Why? We know already that the new acquisition generated the number referred to above that sort of positive operating income last year. Thus the above goal could be reached even if IQST more or less operates at break-even apart from the acquisition. The above information therefore does not imply progress.
Doing ok here don't need RS $$$IQST$$$$

Very rare case. Don't want it!!
Not gonna happen here!!!
Ken "Honest criticism is healthy for the stock in the long run, which is what most of the main six or so cheerleaders here claim is their concern as "investors"". I agree. I regard myself as a very honest person. Actually a person who knew me stated I was too honest to become a lawyer when I studied law at the age of 50. A business associated stated that I was slmost too honest. I never lie intentionally. But from time to time I act as the devil's advocate without lying to shed more light on the stock in question. Right now it is my honest opinion that the current pps is fair. It is my honest opinion that normally a company is worth what you can buy it for. The "God" among posters here seems to assume that the recent acquisition which was bought on the cheap is worth many times what it costs because it has revenues of 80 million dollars. To him it does not seem to matter much that it is barely profitable. It is my honest opinion that my view is more realistic than his view.
cootcat I already own 222,000 shares in this stock. You are right that I cannot afford to buy more.
