Apple will dominate the upcoming “year of the 5G Super Cycle,” Microsoft will outperform Amazon in cloud development, and Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) will beat Netflix in video streaming.

Meanwhile, cyber security will rapidly consolidate, and Google will acquire a public cloud vendor to expand its GCP initiative. Alphabet, Amazon and Apple will build out and acquire into healthcare and banking services.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) could strike 100,000 deliveries in China faster than it did in the U.S. and Europe, and competition and poor profitability could force Uber to shutter its Uber Eats segment.

In a more macro view, federal tech regulation will drive fines but not changes to business models. Local crackdowns could prove more painful.

“AB5 California legislation will be a major ‘gut punch’ to the Gig Economy and throw a major wrench in the business models of Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Postmates, and other players once passed (with all eyes on the impending court battle),” Ives wrote.
