iQSTEL Announces GSMA Membership Enhancing Growth Beyond $250 Million in Annualized Revenue

[oldman69]

THANK YOU STEVE!!!

[Boiler_Master]

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

[GigantorX]

Any word on LDA Capital?

[snow]

imindoge I have checked the p/e ratios of a few of the biggest telecommunication companies. They range from about 10 (CMCSA) to 23 (TMUS). It is interesting for me to see that another poster seems to have arrived at roughly the same conclusions that I have when it comes to the pricing of this stock. There are two superoptimists that are able to argue on this board and two sober posters and several posters who seem unable to support their very optimistic expectations by reasoning.

[BSmart37]

There are some individuals on this platform who have made over 700 posts about a single company and all of them are negative. This speaks volumes in itself. To all the short bashers out there, bring it on! If your stock is being bashed, take it as the ultimate compliment. Don't waste your time, just report these traders who are trying to manipulate the market and keep them where they belong.

[Imindog]

Lmao 🤣!! How much dilution will that costs us 40 million shares ? The revenue is irrelevant with there pathetic margins!! Think about it buddy they will do 300 million this year and bank 2 million net!! Guess what ? That puts them around .30 at a fair market evaluation!! Without a pump this is dead so get to pumping

[jmgotch]

Awesome. 5 bucks and beyond. Just be patient.

[Boiler_Master]

Second acquisition is still on track. From the company today:

"Future Acquisitions and Continued Growth:
The acquisition of QXTEL is poised to nearly double our business size, propelling us toward an annual revenue of a quarter-billion and significantly enhancing our operating income. Beyond QXTEL, another strategic acquisition is on the horizon, with plans to execute this transaction in Q2. This next acquisition will continue to build on our strategic objectives, driving further growth and operational efficiency."

[Imindog]

The ceo leotard knows the ratio and also knows how to manipulate and con us all into thinking differently than what the company is!! Facts are he knows without a pump this stock has zero chance of reach 1 dollar per share much less 2 dollars per share by fundamentals!! So he hypes it saying they are now eligible for NASDAQ!! Remember that same saying he said 2 years ago when acquiring whist and smart biz lol!! 😂 straight trash honestly!! He buys revenue and claims it’s amazing 🤩 when in reality it’s no where near that!! That’s why the lender wants so many shares as collateral as he knows they have zero chance of paying that bridge loan back and have zero funds to operate on so dilute is the only option ladies and they are just piling on the debt now !!

[Imindog]

Understand the big picture DA’s!! A P/E ratio of 20 which is generous in the telecommunications industry as most of the time it’s 15 and let’s say they do 300 million this year in sales and net 2 million that would put them at fair market value of .30-.40 so yeah it’s already priced in this year dumb asses!! Tell boiler to honestly go educate himself as a P/E ratio is not a p/r ratio meaning price per revenue it’s price per earnings after net not gross!! 🤮 y’all are a bunch of idiots honestly!! You all can’t be that stupid can you?

[Imindog]

Thanks leotard for getting the crackheads who have no merit like you book a useless discord lmao!! Dam con artists

[Imindog]

With a P/E ratio of 15-20 this stock is worth about .25-.30 a share with 300 million in revenue and a gross profit of 6 million net profit 2 million!! Don’t let the idiots or leotard say different like he did saying now we qualify for nasdaq lmao 🤣 been hearing that for 4 years now lmao pathetic

[snow]

Boiler We are both here with agendas. Your agenda is to post a rosy-tinted picture of the situation. My agenda is to balance that picture by drawing attention to negative perspectives. The net result of our agendas is a more balanced picture of the real facts. According to your perspective it is crucial to grow very fast by acquisitions. The challenge is that they have to be acquired on the cheap because this company is not in a position to pay for successful companies with outstanding prospects. The risk is that thrash is acquired - thrash which is not able to have a nice net profit margin because of a lack of competitive edge. Let's see how much the net profit margin advances during the first quarter this year. With my 222,000 shares I will be pleased if there is good profit in the net profit margin.

[Boiler_Master]

Perfect example, thank you Snow. You talk about vulnerability in relation to revenue and net assets and interest rates. But when it's brought up that they turned profitable 3 quarters ago and aren't relying on dilution to cover operating expenses any longer, you won't discuss how less vulnerable that makes them. Vulnerability only comes up when you can make a negative comment about it. Self sustaining profitable is huge, but you just steer everyone toward the margins being low. They don't "need" to borrow any money as long as they're profitable. They can choose to borrow money or not based on whether an acquisition is with it. Acquisitions are optional expenses. Paying for things like operating expenses are not optional, but they don't need financing for that anymore. Your posts are not genuine. You have are here with an agenda.

Boiler "Underlying value continues to improve in direct correlation with the fundamentals. But is does have a major impact on the short term and that impacts the company's ability to raise capital etc...."

The fundamentals involve many different things. One of them is the relationship between revenues and net assets. If revenues triple and net assets barely increase the vulnerability of the company jumps. Companies with very low net assets like this company don't usually thrive when rates of interest are high. It is now assumed it will take quite some time before the rate of interest which has been increasing recently will come down because inflation is higher than expected. This is not good for a company that finances its activities by borrowing money or selling stock because the profits are minuscule?

I suggest you do do some pondering as to why it is impossible for this company to finance the recent acquisition on decent terms. Is it because the potential sources of finance are run by stupid people who don't know how little risk it entails to finance this company or is it because they understand how high risk it entails?

[snow]

moneyman Since I still own 222,000 shares in this stock the reason for my stupid posts must be that I am dumb. I assume that the contents of my recent post testifies to this conclusion.

Always insightful Money man. Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

I agree. And he is actually better than most bashers. He doesn't just come in and talk trash and disrupt the board from meaningful conversation. He actually seems to be a smart guy. He's a higher level basher, not a minimum wage temp employee. He understands the filings and uses his knowledge to sound smart and credible while misleading people. That's why he is on here talking about this year's valuations using P/E ratios, which any investor knows is the last way you want to value a stock that showed a net loss on earnings the prior year.

He justifies a "higher" price target to sound bullish, but literally said he calculated .40 as fair value while the stock was .38 and testing .39 as resistance. Like, ya I'm a bull it should go up, but only 2 cents, so people should take profits at this key resistance level I don't want it to cross lol. He also has been on here saying he's bullish and can see a 20% gain potential every year, knowing no one invests in a high growth pennystock hoping for a 20% gain. The risk/reward just isn't there for a 20% potential, hell the stock swings 10% intraday trading lol. So saying a 20% upside potential is literally another way of bashing discouraging people from investing in the company.

It's like fake news when they use a statistic to prove a point that is intentionally misleading people to believe a narrative that is not true. Like, ya the statistic you provided is technically accurate based on math, but it is so out of context and irrelevant that's it's still a lie pushing a narrative. Just like his P/E ratios, ya sounds legit, but it's not and is intended to mislead people.

They downplay everything good the company is doing and constantly bring attention to anything negative about the company to try and make that the focus even if the good heavily outweighs the bad. They call me a pumper, but I literally made a youtube video titled, "another options agreement?" LOL I also broke down the convertible note terms for everyone and projected out the combined dilution I expect this year. What pumper would try and educate people sharing that information? But I also calculated out how it affects the value of our investment and explained how significant the net result is for us. They'll add almost 200M new sales this year, even if dilution were 20M new shares that would still be $10 in new sales for every 1 new share issued. But they don't have an honest discussion like that, they just blast dilution. Or the convertible note being 18%, the end of the world lol. Well if it were 10% that would be amazing in today's high rate environment. But an 8% difference on this loan would only be 280k. For a company doing over 300am this year, 300k interest on a one year loan is the deciding factor on being a good or bad investment? Lmao no, it's hardly even relevant. But damn, they do a good job getting people to focus on it and kill sentiment.

Won't matter much in the long run. Underlying value continues to improve in direct correlation with the fundamentals. But is does have a major impact on the short term and that impacts the company's ability to raise capital etc so it pisses me off otherwise I'd just ignore it.

[oldman69]

"BINGO"

[moneyman2013]

It's simple why he (or anyone like him) is always negative - it's one of 2 reasons:
1) He's dumb. Kind of like a parent constantly telling their kid "god you're ugly" as they try to raise them...
2) Wolf in Sheep's cloth. He doesn't own any shares and is here merely to dissuade people from this stock or is working with a stock group to push the price down.

Either way, NO investor who owns stock in a company is going to continuously bash their own investment. Yes there may be times when they question the stock or management, but to continuously do this demonstrates either 1 or 2 above.

He said: " It is useful for me in my investment decisions to see if the bullish shareholders are able to point out grave fallacies in my reasoning."

This isn't a fallacy, but rather a suggestion - you are shooting yourself in your own foot at every turn if you feel that other investors do NOT turn to IHUB and other boards to see where people are leaning on a stock - they do. Even Big Board company investment houses look to the market and public opinion to see how people view a product/software/etc. because if people do not like something, it will not do well, and if it does not do well, the company does not do well...it's all tied together.

This person doesn't realize that all investors here who own this stock are in the same boat, so listening to their incessant whining about the ups/downs of the SP is fruitless drivel to these current investors and only serves to dissuade or convince others to sell/buy. Any person who continuously persists in negative chatter must feel they are sharing some breaking news to the rest of us - they are not.

Best to all TRUE Longs

[snow]

Boiler "And if I look at ihub, you've made 30 posts all negative about the stock since Saturday." When I read your post I better understand why your views on IQST seem to be so far off from reality in my view. I have counted my posts in the time frame you mention and I arrive at a number that is less than 50% of your number.

"You're basically flooding the board with negative, which discourages buying and potentially influences more people to sell pushing the price lower and costing you even more than the $17,094 you claim to already be down since Friday. Why would you want to do that?"

It is a fairly gross exaggeration that I have been flooding the board with posts in the time frame you refer to, I find a total of 69 posts and as far as I can see I have posted about 16% of them. If you check you will see that the vast majority of them are in replies to posts I disagree with. These are mostly posts by people who are very optimistic about the prospects of this stock but who seem to lack the intellectual capacity to adduce reasoned arguments supporting their optimism. Since those who disagree with me represent the overwhelming majority of posts my 16% of posts create a somewhat better balance between optimists and pessimists.

I have posted on Ihub for more than 20 years. Time and again I have read that posters think the Ihub boards have little effect on the stock price of the stocks that are discussed. But of course this varies a bit. If my posts are marred by weak arguments I would assume that they have little effect on the stock price. If my arguments are cogent I would assume they have more effect on the stock price. But if that is the case I would think those who read this board deserve the chance to read my points of view. My guess is that Ihub has not that much effect on the pps. One reason for thinking so is that Stocktwits seems to be a more active board regarding IQST. You are yourself posting on that board. There are few negative posts on that active board.

Why is the pps down sharply in a few days? I think the reason explaining it is more or less the same reason that caused the pps to drop very sharply after I bought a substantial number of shares a few months ago: fear of more dilution. I read a post suggesting that the number of shares that will function as collateral for a fairly short-term loan (35 million shares if my memory does not fail me) was higher now than what was published some months ago. I also seem to remember that you yourself suggested that there was no change. Was that correct?

My general intention with my posts is to contribute to shed light on the postive and negative factors that can be expected to affect the future stock price. Since most posters post to try to influence the stock price upwards for their own benefit there is usually little need to post things that are bullish. But there is often a need to post bearish points of view. Thus my view is that I play a useful role when I post bearish points of view. If my points of view have flimsy underpinnings it should be easy for bulls to sap my arguments.

I hope that I possess some modicum of integrity. If you only trust self-serving justification for my mostly bearish posts here I will mention is that my posts ought to be a challenge for the bulls. It is useful for me in my investment decisions to see if the bullish shareholders are able to point out grave fallacies in my reasoning.

[oneforone]

This just keeps going down ,

[Imindog]

I’m down 50 k what the hell are you talking
17k since Friday lmao!! 🤣 lost 20k today on this pos and 28 k Monday!! Make a video on that and how great the company is when the lame ass margins can’t even cover there debt let alone operating expenses!! Heading for a brutal dilution road but go ahead and pump it up again as that’s all you are is a paid pumper !! Bum

[chas1]

Do not eat the yellow snow,. it is always good advise.

[sricket]

LLL

[lflhdy]

Some peeps are honest in their opinions. Not all are pumpers. We all know that run to .38 was manipulation to sell the million shares. And we are still looking at an option with a lowest buy in at .11 or .157 before their discount. Which obviously they are not interested in buying high as you have stated since they have had plenty of chances to do that. So what is left wait for the drop. Let's just face the facts.

[Boiler_Master]

Wow that's alot of shares. Interesting that Friday the stock closed at .365 so 222k shares was worth $81,030. Today it closed at .288 so 222k shares are now worth $63,936.

That's a drop of $17,094 since Friday. And if I look at ihub, you've made 30 posts all negative about the stock since Saturday. You're basically flooding the board with negative, which discourages buying and potentially influences more people to sell pushing the price lower and costing you even more than the $17,094 you claim to already be down since Friday. Why would you want to do that?

[wooferwax]

Ok then. Quit shitting in your own mouth and maintain quiet reflection Enough said.

[snow]

woof As I have stated repeatedly I own 222,000 shares in this stock. I have not checked but right now I am in the red I think. I think the plunge is a bit excessive in relation to the recent negative news.

[Imindog]

Just consolidating I’m sure!!

[Imindog]

Yay down 30% this week !! Awesome

[wooferwax]

just for the record. You do own this stock right?

[wooferwax]

wow. great stock performance.

[Knux]

Absolutely. Alvaro has all sorts of these playful accounting tricks up his sleeve; he's very savvy.

[Imindog]

I figured it out it’s consolidating lmao 🤣!!

[Imindog]

Just think back ladies as it took a 80 million acquisition announcement and pumping for 6 days to reach .39 from .26!! What will take this to let’s say .50 ? Nothing but pumping!! Period!! Nothing enticing about this company or its dead beat management crew that’s for sure!! They prove how slimy and crooked they really are!! Stay away from the boilers and brads of this world they are dead beats!!

[Imindog]

Will the .28 support hold is the question if not teens it’s going for sure !! Will see today or tomorrow for sure!!

[Imindog]

Yup it feels great being involved with the crap birds or the world like leotardo and his team!! Straight trash and pathetic! !! Need a pump so we can dump for sure !!

[GigantorX]

They just can't help themselves. Drop some shady news and an amendment to an S1 on a Friday afterhours? Not good. Same old tricks, classic film flam.

Now when investors are justifiably upset and asking questions as the SP plummets Investor Relations is out telling the world that it's actually the investors fault for not understanding what is going on.

Good grief!

As I mentioned in the previous post Goodwill represent about 5 million dollars of the net equity of about 8 million dollars. As long as profits are so marginal the real value of the goodwill looks dubious to me. It suggests that the subsidiaries create little in the way of profits.

BSmart

I know better than you what my motives are but I have met similar responses so often over a period of more than 20 years that I am not surprised about your reaction. What is the purpose of Ihub? The way I see it the purpose is to discuss stocks in the hope that optimistic and pessimistic points of view will give those who read the posts a better basis for investment decisions - is it a good idea to buy or to sell the stock involved? For shareholders it is extremely valuable to have a realistic view of the prospects of a stock, including both potential for appreciation and risks. My view is that both of us provide useful points of view in this context.

I know that the prevailing attitude among US investors or speculators seems to be to try to use Ihub to promote stocks. They are not interested in seeing unwelcome facts drawn attention to. I sometimes act as the devil's advocate even regarding stocks I am heavily invested in. It is useful for me an it should be useful for others to see if the optimists are able to argue convincingly that negative perspectives rest on a flimsy basis.

At the age of 81 I have been in the stock market for about 50 years. Although I am a European I have visited American companies and talked to managements. A few months ago I bought a little less than 100,000 shares in this stock which I was alerted to by S.A. Advisory. When I became convinced that SPZI is most likely a scam I sold most of my shares and increased my stake in t his stock to some 222,000 shares. The bulk of my tradeable US shares are now in this stock. I am therefore extremely interested in the most probable future prospects of IQST. I note that posters here seem to disregard totally my points of view. Thus I see little reason why my points of view will have much influence on the stock price.
I
One aspect of this stock I would like to draw attention to that I regard as very negative is net assets. This company has sustained losses to the tune of a few tens of million of dollars. It appears to have sold a lot of stock. Net assets were at the end of last year about 8 million dollars. 5 of those 8 million are goodwill. This suggests that IQST has paid much more for the acquisitions than the assets on their books. Apart from goodwill this company has net asets of only about 3 million dollars as against a market cap of more than 50 million dollars. The downside if things don't work out well is very deep.

I did not state that IQST is not now profitable. Based on the projections of management IQST will be barely profitable this year. Not long ago he projected a measly operating income (which is normally higher than net income) of 500,000 dollars per quarter this year despite the fact that income from the new acquisition will be included for 3 quarters this year as far as I remember. Revenues are expected to be about 300,000 million dollars. This implies a net profit margin this year of well below one percent. Since the gross profit margin is so low I cannot see how a decent bottom line can be reached in two or three years.
