IQSTEL Announces December Record Date for Milestone Stock Dividend

IQSTEL sets December 15 as the record date for its inaugural stock dividend, distributing 75,529 shares worth $500,000 to shareholders following impressive Q3 growth and a successful Nasdaq uplisting.

IQSTEL Inc. (IQST) announced Monday that it's officially setting the wheels in motion for its first-ever dividend distribution. The record date is December 15, 2025, and instead of cash, shareholders will receive additional IQSTEL common shares.

For those unfamiliar, IQSTEL operates across a diverse portfolio including digital infrastructure, telecom services (think VoIP, SMS, IoT, and fiber), Fintech solutions for remittances and immigrant banking, electric vehicles, and even Metaverse platforms. It's quite the technology buffet.

How the Dividend Breaks Down

Here's how the math works: IQSTEL calculated a total dividend value of $500,000 using the August 29, 2025 closing price of $6.62 per share. That translates to 75,529 free-trading IQST common shares that will be distributed on or around December 30, 2025.

Only shareholders who hold IQST common shares as of the December 15 record date will qualify for the dividend. With approximately 4,374,822 shares outstanding, the distribution ratio works out to 0.0173.

Want to calculate your personal haul? Simply multiply your share count as of the record date by 0.0173. Fair warning though: all allocations will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the company won't be issuing cash for fractional shares. So if your calculation gives you 10.8 shares, you're getting 10.

CEO Reflects on Momentum and Future Targets

CEO Leandro Iglesias took the opportunity to highlight what's been a transformative period for the company. IQSTEL successfully uplisted to Nasdaq, hit a $400 million revenue run rate ahead of schedule, and achieved a $2.7 million EBITDA run rate.

Iglesias also pointed out that the company's Fintech division now accounts for 20% of total revenue, while the recent addition of cybersecurity capabilities has strengthened the high-margin side of the business. And of course, there's this inaugural dividend, which marks a symbolic milestone for shareholder returns.

Looking forward, the ambitions are substantial: IQSTEL is targeting a $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026 and a $1 billion revenue run rate by 2027. Those are big numbers for a company currently running at $400 million.

Recent Performance and Institutional Interest

As of the latest available data, institutional investors hold roughly 5% of IQSTEL's outstanding shares.

In November, the company reported third-quarter results that showed serious momentum. Revenue came in at $102.8 million, representing a 90% jump year-over-year and exceeding analyst estimates. Gross revenue reached $118.5 million, reflecting what the company describes as strong synergies across its subsidiaries.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $0.68 million for the quarter, primarily driven by the Telecom segment with additional contributions from Fintech operations.

Price Action: IQST stock closed down 3.44% at $3.93 on Friday.
