IQST – IQSTD - IQSTEL to Begin Trading Tomorrow on NASDAQ Capital Market Under Ticker: IQST
New York, NY – May 13, 2025 — IQSTEL Inc. (OTCQX: IQST), a U.S.-based multinational technology company, is proud to announce that it will begin trading tomorrow, Wednesday, May 14th, 2025, on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol IQST. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTC Markets quotation system on the OTCQX until trading commences on The Nasdaq Capital Market tomorrow. This milestone marks a defining moment in the company’s journey—from a telecom operator to a high-tech global enterprise.
“We are very proud to be entering the NASDAQ national exchange,” said Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL. “This uplisting is the result of years of hard work, discipline, and a long-term vision shared by our shareholders, investors, executives, employees, partners, customers, and vendors—many of whom have supported us since our beginning in June 2018 on the OTC Markets.”
IQSTEL’s capital markets journey began with $13.8 million in revenue in 2018. Since then, the company has grown steadily—demonstrating consistent execution, transparency, and scalable performance—with plans now to reach $1 billion in annual revenue by 2027.
Tomorrow’s NASDAQ listing is not just a culmination of that success—it represents a new beginning, placing IQSTEL on a globally recognized stage with enhanced investor visibility and access to institutional capital.
The move to NASDAQ is expected to catalyze the Company’s growth trajectory, aligning its valuation with peers and enhancing its ability to attract long-term investors, execute strategic acquisitions, and drive value creation as it advances toward its goals.
