CORAL GABLES, Fla. - TelAve -- In a year marked by breakneck expansion across telecommunications, fintech, AI, and next-generation cybersecurity, IQSTEL, Inc. (N A S D A Q: IQST) is emerging as one of Nasdaq's most compelling growth stories. With record-setting financial results, a rapidly strengthening balance sheet, major acquisitions already bearing fruit, and the confirmation of a $500,000 dividend payable in free-trading shares, IQSTEL is signaling to the market that its long-term value creation strategy is taking hold—fast.

Investors watching for the next transformative mid-cap technology contender may now be seeing its early inflection point.

A $500,000 Shareholder Dividend—A Rare Move Among Emerging Tech Firms

On December 3rd, IQSTEL confirmed it will distribute a $500,000 dividend in free-trading IQST common shares. The dividend, calculated at the August 29, 2025 closing price of $6.62, equates to 75,529 shares to be distributed to shareholders of record as of December 15th, with payment on December 30th.

With just 4.37 million shares outstanding, the distribution ratio of 0.0173 per share reflects a meaningful capital return—especially for a debt-free emerging tech company on Nasdaq.

CEO Leandro Iglesias emphasized that this marks the beginning of annual dividends tied directly to performance, stating:

"IQSTEL has fulfilled every promise we made to our shareholders… This $500,000 dividend is a testament to our vision, our execution, and our unwavering dedication to rewarding those who believe in our mission."

In the current market cycle, where investor trust is hard-won, this move could set IQSTEL apart from many of its growth-stage peers.

A Debt-Free Nasdaq Company with a Clean Capital Structure

In October, IQSTEL made a strategic leap rarely seen at its stage:
The company eliminated every remaining convertible note and now carries no warrants and no convertible debt.

This resets the company's capitalization to a "clean slate" just as it enters a period of accelerating multi-division growth. For institutional investors wary of dilution risk in small-cap tech, this could be a turning point.
