Company updates frequently address financial results, margin and EBITDA priorities, platform consolidation, shareholder communications and investor presentations.

IQSTEL (IQST) reported July net revenue of $37.5 million, which equates to an annualized revenue run rate of $450 million based on that month’s performance. The company states that July’s results support progress toward its $430 million full-year 2026 revenue objective, while emphasizing that the annualized run rate is a simple multiplication of July revenue and is not a revision to its full-year forecast or revenue already earned.
IQSTEL is also preparing to complete its planned acquisition of Ultranet, which it expects could add approximately $4.5 million in net income, subject to closing and subsequent operating results. In parallel, IQSTEL is developing a higher-margin Digital Services segment, including a microdrama subscription model that illustrates potential annualized profit contribution of $1.8–$3.6 million at 300,000 paid subscriptions, though these scenarios are described as illustrative only and not financial guidance.
IQSTEL (IQST) outlined an illustrative economic model for its IQSTEL Digital mobile-first microdrama subscription service, based on potential carrier-billed monthly subscriptions as of September 17, 2026.
Under the contemplated model, consumers would pay approximately $4–$6 per month, with revenue shared among the mobile operator, a content partner and IQSTEL. IQSTEL Digital currently estimates each active paid subscription could contribute about $0.50–$1.00 in monthly profit-contribution to IQSTEL Digital after revenue sharing and directly attributable operating expenses.
At an illustrative level of 300,000 active paid monthly subscriptions, the model implies approximately $1.2–$1.8 million in monthly consumer billings and a potential $150,000–$300,000 in monthly profit-contribution for IQSTEL Digital, equivalent to about $14.4–$21.6 million in annualized consumer billings and $1.8–$3.6 million in annualized profit-contribution. Scenario tables also illustrate lower subscription levels from 50,000 upward. All figures are mathematical illustrations based on assumptions, not existing subscriptions, contracted revenue, forecasts or financial guidance. IQSTEL plans to leverage commercial relationships with more than 600 telecom operators serving about 2.3 billion end users and has an objective to reach a potential audience of roughly 40 million mobile users by the end of Q2 2027.
IQSTEL (IQST) set a 2027 objective for its IDILIO TV partnership to secure mobile-operator distribution access to a potential audience of about 40 million users by the end of the second quarter of 2027, leveraging its existing telecommunications relationships and infrastructure.
The company launched the IDILIO TV commercial sales pipeline with mobile operators, aiming to monetize over 600 operator relationships across 24 countries that currently provide potential access to roughly 2.3 billion end users. Distribution is expected to use direct carrier billing, standalone subscriptions and bundled value-added services, targeting Spanish-speaking markets for microdrama content. An illustrative 1.25% penetration of a 40 million-user audience would equal about 500,000 gross paying subscribers by end‑2027, but IQSTEL stresses this is not guidance or a forecast. IDILIO TV is backed by a $5 million seed round led by a16z Speedrun with notable investors participating. IQSTEL reported preliminary, unaudited revenue of approximately $207 million for the first half of 2026, up from about $130 million a year earlier, and views this initiative as part of a broader EBITDA and margin expansion strategy.
