There are plenty of candidates, says Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital. He foresees a "Christmas M&A list" that includes GoPro, Box, Adobe and Tesla Motors.
The most likely candidates strategically are Box (BOX), a cloud-based file-sharing service for large businesses, and GoPro (GPRO), a maker of action cameras, according to Ives. Both could fill technology gaps for Apple as it tries to diversify its lineup beyond phones, watches, laptops, tablets and more. Indeed, shares of GoPro climbed 11% in a session last week on Ives' report.

Some douche investment guy called me up recently and pitched these guys as the next M&A for Apple. He stated that Tesla was overpriced and BYD was prime:
