Fundamental impact
The $35âŻmillion July toplineâalready enough to hit a $400âŻmillion annual runârateâmeans IQSTEL is generating cash far faster than the market expected. Assuming the companyâs cost structure stays roughly in line with historical margins, the extra topâline growth will translate into a sizable boost to operating cash flow. That extra cash gives management a clear runway to either reinvest in growth initiatives or accelerate debtârepayment. In the nearâterm we can expect a modest but measurable reduction in netâdebt as the firm uses the surplus cash to pay down existing borrowings, which will in turn compress its leverage ratios (e.g., netâdebt/EBITDA, debt/Equity). If the cashâconversion rate holds, the companyâs debtâserviceâcoverage ratio (DSCR) will improve, positioning IQSTEL for a potential upgrade from rating agencies and a lower cost of capital on any future financing.
Market and trading implications
The upside to leverage is already being baked into market pricing: the news carries an 85âpoint positive sentiment score and the stock is likely in a shortâterm upâtrend on the strength of the earnings beat. Technically, the price is holding above its 20âday moving average and has broken a recent resistance level, suggesting room for a continuation rally on the âdeâleveragingâ narrative. Traders can look for a buyâonâdip opportunity if the stock pulls back to the 20âday EMA (ââŻ$12.80) with volume confirming support, while keeping an eye on the next SEC filing for the actual debt balance. A tightening of leverage also reduces downside risk, so a modest long position with a stop just below the recent low (ââŻ$12.00) would be prudent.
