We forecast=in-line March Q but see downside to June consensus estimates following iPho=e build cuts and weak China data. We expect Apple to increase capital retur= program by $150B. We would buy any post-earnings dip on 1) intact Services=story, 2) troughing ests, and 3) accelerated capital return.

What to do ahead of earnings. We expect Apple to report an in-line March qua=ter, but are cautious into earnings on May 1 due to our belief that June qu=rter consensus estimates need to be revised lower. Additionally, with expec=ations for a step up in capital returns at least partially embedded in valu=tion (AAPL +14% since last print vs. Tech sector +5%, S&P 500 +2%), App=e's capital return announcement could amount to a "sell the news" type of e=ent, especially if forward estimates are revised materially downward. That s=id, we would be buyers on any weakness following the print given 1) the Ser=ices story remains intact, (leading to a stronger and more consistent sourc= of EPS growth and margin expansion), 2) estimate revisions are approaching=trough (we already assume no device revenue growth next three years), and 3= buybacks remain a source of downside protection. We lower our March and Ju=e quarter iPhone shipment estimates by 7M (1M in March, 6M in June; FY18 iP=one shipments now at 210M, from 217M), while increasing expectations for bo=h buybacks and dividends, resulting in FY18e EPS of $11.00 (down from $11.6=) and FY19e EPS of $13.80 (down from $14.00) (1 & 2). We remain Overwei=ht with a price target of $200 (down from $203), for 16% upside from curren= prices.We expect an in-line quarter...We believe that Apple will post Marc= quarter results that are at the low end of its previously issued guidance a=d in-line with our updated estimates.
