Laravel eloquent duplicating data when using create method

I have a simple array that returned when executing:

$this->forecast($value->id,$value->db_connection)

for some reason when i call the $reports::create($data) it duplicates each row, i have added some logic to print out $data within the foreach and it never returns duplicates, when printing the $result object it has 2 entries.

any idea where i am going wrong?

 public function store() // function to store report data in db
{
    $reports = new Reports;

    $companyData = new ClientSettings;
    $settings = $companyData::all();

    foreach ($settings as $value) {

        $data = $this->forecast($value->id,$value->db_connection);
        $result = $reports::create($data);

    }
    echo "Forecast generated";   
}
