Apple forecasts holiday-quarter margin drop as memory costs rise

Summary

Apple has forecast a drop in its margins for the holiday quarter as rising memory costs bite, according to the CNA headline. Euronews reports that better-than-expected results for the last quarter of Apple's fiscal year 2026 were overshadowed by rising memory chip costs and a forecast for slower services growth. An Investing.com headline carries the same margin-drop framing, and its web address points to coverage of Apple's results beating Wall Street expectations on strong iPhone sales; that detail comes from the address alone. The CNA and Investing.com articles had empty summaries, so their accounts rest on headlines and addresses, while the Euronews account rests on its summary.
