Your problem are the "Rows Removed by Filter: 2674361".

The first thing I would try is:

  ALTER TABLE public.companyarticledb
     ALTER companyid SET STATISTICS 1000;

  ALTER TABLE public.companyarticledb
     ALTER articleid SET STATISTICS 1000;

  ANALYZE public.companyarticledb;

Then PostgreSQL has a better idea which condition is selective.

You can set STATISTICS up to 10000, but don't forget that high values
make ANALYZE and planning slower.
