  "account": "Apple has reported a revenue of $114.5 billion and earnings per share of $2.10 for the third quarter, surpassing analyst expectations. The iPhone, the company's main product, generated $57.6 billion in revenue, also exceeding forecasts. However, Apple expects only 7-10% growth for the holiday quarter, citing supply chain issues and rising memory chip costs, particularly due to the boom in Artificial Intelligence applications. The company's stock has risen 21% this year, but its high price-to-earnings ratio of 35.7 makes it vulnerable to price drops. Despite this, 33 analysts recommend buying the stock, citing Apple's high profitability and loyal customer base.",
  "summary": "The quarterly figures are convincing and the returns are phenomenal. But there aren't enough chips. Will the stocks possibly run out soon too?",
