Five-Year Company Overview

Income Statement

Income Statement Revenue has been climbing steadily over the last few years, but the business is still operating very close to break-even and occasionally dipping into small losses. Gross profit exists but looks thin, suggesting the legacy telecom pieces may be lower-margin while newer tech offerings have not yet scaled enough to materially lift profitability. Earnings per share have been mildly negative in several years, reflecting a company still in investment and build-out mode rather than one generating consistent bottom‑line profits. Overall, the income statement tells the story of a growing but still fragile business model that is not yet firmly profitable.

Balance Sheet

Balance Sheet The balance sheet appears small and relatively lean, with modest total assets and only limited reported debt. Equity is positive but not large, which points to a company that does not yet have a heavy asset base or deep capital cushion. Repeated reverse stock splits in the company’s history also hint at prior pressure on the share price and a need to reset the capital structure. With reported cash essentially negligible in recent years, the company likely relies on ongoing funding or future cash generation to support its expansion plans, which adds some financial risk if growth takes longer than planned.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow Reported operating cash flow has hovered around break-even, and investment spending has been minimal, at least in terms of capital expenditures. That points to an asset‑light model where much of the growth effort is focused on services, software, and partnerships rather than on building physical infrastructure. The flip side is that, with little clear positive free cash flow so far, the business is not yet self-funding in a strong way, and future initiatives may require either improved profitability or external capital. Cash flow stability and visibility remain key uncertainties.

Competitive Edge

Competitive Edge iQSTEL is trying to differentiate itself by sitting at the crossroads of telecom, fintech, AI, and cybersecurity. Its asset‑light approach in telecom, broad network of carrier relationships, and expanding mix of services give it a platform that many newer entrants would find hard to copy quickly. The partnership with a specialized cybersecurity firm and the focus on integrated solutions (such as AI‑driven call centers, fintech tools, and security services bundled together) provide potential competitive edges. However, the company operates in highly crowded, fast‑moving markets against much larger, well‑funded players, so execution and speed will be critical to maintaining any lasting advantage.

Innovation and R&D

Innovation and R&D The company’s innovation efforts are focused on software‑driven, scalable platforms. Its AI call center engine aims to automate a very large share of customer interactions, backed by live transcription, sentiment analysis, and smart handoff to human agents. iQSTEL is also working with a cybersecurity “sibling company” to blend AI and security into telecom and fintech offerings, and is experimenting with blockchain to simplify mobile number portability. On top of that, it is expanding in fintech through acquisitions and offering eSIM and roaming solutions via its subsidiaries. Overall, the R&D and product roadmap are ambitious and forward‑looking, but still early in terms of proven large‑scale commercial traction.

Summary

iQSTEL is in the middle of a transition from a small, legacy‑telecom‑oriented company into a more diversified technology platform spanning AI, cybersecurity, and fintech. Revenue has been growing, but profits and cash flows remain thin, leaving limited financial room for error. The balance sheet is light, with modest assets, little reported cash, and a history of reverse splits that signals prior capital‑market challenges. On the strategic side, the company has many promising initiatives—AI‑driven services, cybersecurity partnerships, fintech acquisitions, and blockchain‑based telecom tools—that could raise margins and deepen its moat if they scale. The key questions going forward are whether iQSTEL can convert its innovation pipeline and acquisition strategy into durable, profitable growth before its financial flexibility becomes too constrained, and how well it can compete against much larger players in each of its chosen markets.
