Apple shares up on expectations of record capital allocation program

Apple shares are gaining ahead of earnings tomorrow and investor/analyst believe that the report could include a record capital allocation program. Morgan Stanley thinks Apple could increase the capital return program by $150 billion, while analyst Katy Huberty expects $210 billion in share repurchases, $52 billion in dividends over three years, and about $30 billion available for acquisitions. 

Also, as noted by Seeking Alpha, Citi thinks the program will expand by $100 billion, while GBH Insights analyst Daniel Ives feels Apple will repatriate $200 billion.

In January, Apple said it expects to pay $38 billion taxes on what it plans to repatriate, implying it will bring back nearly all of its $250 billion in overseas profits.
